Mendelssohn (Sidney) South African Bibliography Vol 2 page 525: An account of a short tour throughout South Africa in 1877, together with a synopsis of the history of the sub-continent under Dutch and British rule, and the author's opinions respecting the native question and the proposal to federate the states and colonies. Mr. Trollope visited the Cape Colony, Natal, the Transvaal, the Orange Free State, and Griqualand West, and he gives considerable information respecting the Boer and British colonists, much of which, however, has been compiled from the works of other writers. The account of the Transvaal is of special interest, as the visit was made soon after the first annexation, and some pains appear to have been taken to elicit the views of the people upon the subject.
