From the Foreword: "As a missionary of the Methodist Missionary Society, Thomas Laidman Hodgson played a leading part in establishing the first Christian mission beyond the Vaal River, within the borders of the later Transvaal.

"... the chief interest of the Hodgson Journals today lies in their utulity as a source for the Difaquane, the label for the series of disturbances and forced migrations that resulted from the impact on neighbouring African societies of the Zulu military kingdom of Shaka's day. The experience of the Seleka-Rolong provides a convenient case study of the Difaquane in action and one which is unique in that, through Hodgson's record, we can follow the fortunes during this essential 'pre-colonial' event of the particular Tswana group to which these missionaries remained attached".
