This copy is in near fine condition.

"There must be something in the climate of South Africa which aids the poetic faculty; for this little volume is the proof of it. The Hon. George Bingham is a former Captain in the Royal Welch Fusiliers, wh as most poets do, writes his verse in bursts of inspiration.

..... the South African verses have all the colour and rugged grandeur of the open veldt...

The dainty lyrics of Mrs. Joubert de la Ferte, towards the end of the volume, are the product of a rich and musical mind." (from the dust jacket)
