\"During his residence in Cape Town, and in the course of his journeys, the author saw a good deal of the Cape Colony.Nicholson deprecates the efforts of the Colonial missionaries. With regard to the Boers it is maintained that the \'hasty, fanatical, and oppressive manner in which the emancipation of the slaves was conducted in the Cape Colony\', had converted those previously loyal subjects to bitter enemies.\". (Mendelssohn) Mendelssohn III 543.
\"The author spent a few years as a farmer in the district of Graaf-Reinet, but not being able to make his occupation pay, he returned to England . His account of the colony is rather gloomy, but not altogether incorrect.\" -- Theal, p. 214.
