A description of the Transvaal at the time of the first annexation (1877). The author gives a short account of the Cape Colony and Natal at this period, and relates incidents concerning the early colonisation of the South African Republics. There is much information as to the agricultural position of the country, together with an account of such mineral discoveries as had, at that time, been proved.
The appendices are very complete and cover almost every question of importance to emigrants and settlers. There are some illustrations (taken from photographs), and two maps.
