Cetywayo and His White Neighbours; or, Remarks on Recent Events in Zululand, Natal, and the Transvaal.

First edition (pp. xix, 294). Tall octavo (22 cm) in original green publisher’s cloth, gilt title and decorations. 

The first appearance of Haggard’s first book, published at his own expense - or perhaps his father’s, was critical equally of Imperial policy and its local application. This copy one of about 150 sold of 750; once Haggard had achieved literary recognition, many more copies were sold in a later edition. Top and bottom edges of spine abraded, a few specks on back cover; otherwise clean, bright, and sound.
