Mendelssohn (Sidney) South African Bibliography vol 1 page 899: Dr Lichtenstein was tutor to the son of Governor Janssens of the Cape Colony. The author offers a criticism of Barrow in his references to earlier travellers, accusing him of being 'totally unacquainted with the general habits and mode of life of the colonists...' Lichtenstein travelled with the Governor through the interior. Bushmen and Bechuanas are described and the information about the wild life and their natural surroundings is recorded in detail.
