The Laws and Regulations etc etc Specially Relating to the Native Population of the Transvaal

[This is a different copy from the one sold recently, which also had a skew title label (see below), but with slightly different binding features.]

In his introductory note, "E R G" writes that this volume is intended to record the various laws etc, without, however, doing away with the need when required to "resort to the Statute Books and the Government Gazette" - in other words "to include the outlines of Native Administration in a compendious form, and to facilitate, when necessary, reference to the sources of authority."

The contents are arranged alphabetically into 22 sections: administration of justice and native administration, arms and weapons, compounds, contracts and concessions, education, exemption, game, health, immovable property, labout agents, liquor, locations (government and municipal), marriage, master and servant, miscellaneous, municipalities and towns, pass laws, resident justices of the peace, squatters, stock, succession, taxation.

Brown pebble paper-boards with the title of the book printed (skew) in black on a white label on the upper board. Unmarked plain endpapers with the free leaves sunned. The metal stapling into the spine makes the middle of the book difficult to open. xxiii + 217 pp + blank leaves at the end of each section for notes.

Apart from the stiff page-opening, which seems to be a fault of the binding and not of age, this is a very good and complete copy.
