Mendelssohn (Sidney) South African Bibliography vol.1 page 862: An account of a trip throughout South Africa in 1881, the author arriving just after the retrocession of the Transvaal. He was of opinion that a future war was only a matter of time, and he remarks on the " impudence " of the Boers ; he considered that the Loyalists in the Transvaal had been badly treated, and left in the lurch by the British authorities. He states that he was informed that the British found life in the Orange Free State almost unbearable after the defeat at Majuba. There is an interesting account of Kimberley and the coast towns, with a description of Zululand, &c.
