'Mr. Wills states in the preface that Miss Joyce Garraway first conceived the idea of writing this book. He was asked to edit her manuscript, which was a short sketchy guide of Bulawayo, and he undertook the editorship, in which he was joined by Mr. J. Hall, Junr. There is a good deal of information regarding the history of Rhodesia since the British occupation of the country, together with a description of Bulawayo, and the gold-mining an commercial companies. The volume contains a number of portraits of prominent men connected with the colony, and there are lists of directors, officials, and other public men.' - Mendelssohn Vol.II, page 618
