In his introduction the author states that if, in the unlikely event, the majesty of Table Mountain and its surrounding natural beauty fails to make much of an impression on the traveller visiting our shores, then surely the city would be able to offer sights equal to those of any of the greater cities of Europe and Asia. He has this on the authority of Lieutenant-General Sir Baden-Powell, as well as that famous Elizabethan pirate or privateer Sir Francis Drake, who said that this peninsula was "a most stately thing and the fairest cape we saw in the whole circumference of the earth."
