This is a case where the second (enlarged and revised) edition of 1957 is more valuable than the first (1948, reprinted in 1949). \"Advantage has been taken of the opportunity [afforded by a second edition] to incorporate a mass of addtional information and to revisit the whole text, in the light of newly discovered facts and further diligent research.\"
The three-colour printed unclipped (35s) dustjacket is rubbed and chipped at the edges and there are a few small tears. The maroon cloth-boards, gilt to the spine, are unmarked and the binding is tight. There are different maps on the front and back endpapers. There is a dedication opposite the half-title. xx + 284 pp of text, appendixes and index + numerous monochrome plates are all present, clean and undiscoloured./p>
The jacket apart, this is a near-fine collectable copy of a book that lays the foundation for an appreciation of the contribution made by the 1820 Settlers of the Eastern Cape.
