Reminiscences of a Lifetime in the Orange Free State.

Facsimile reprint, Africana Collectanea Series No. XII: 344 pages, frontispiece, 8 illustrations, red vynide, a good copy in frayed dust jacket.

Unlike all the other fifty volumes in the Africana Collectanea series this is not a facsimile reprint because the printing of the first edition was too poor for photographic reproduction. The eight illustrations are taken from Backhouse's A Narrative of a Visit to the Mauritius and South Africa with a tint added for this edition.
