'The author spent about six months in Zululand during the reign of Panda. Her brother, who was engaged in hunting and trading with a party, fell seriously ill, but after many difficulties Miss Barter was enabled, by the aid of friendly traders, missionaries, and natives, to come to his assistance and save his life. The work affords a good account of the social side of the life of the Zulus at this period, and there is much information as to the native trade of the country, with occasional references to the labours of the missionaries.' - Mendelssohn Vol.I, page 93
