Translated from the Dutch And Edited With Preface And Notes by Right Rev. J.W. Colenso D.D. Bishop Of Natal". Cornelius Vijn was a young Hollander aged 23 who had been trading in Natal for more than 4 years. He personally handed his journal to Rev. John Colenso (Bishop of Natal) for consideration of publication in England at the time. More than half of this book is devoted to Bishop Colenso's Notes and, as well known, he was strongly against this war. Also includes notes on 'The Zulu Military System' and 'A Protest Against The Zulu War' which was a letter to Hicks-Beach, Secretary of State for the Colonies, as submitted by the Aborigines' Protection Society. The Preface by Bishop Colenso clearly indicates his opposition to the Zulu war and its proponents.
