Blue pictirial hard carton covers, 110 pages text with photographs and information. Signed by the author on title page. A good copy.

As this book is based on a life of over 92 years spent in close association with the Africans of this Province, both privately and officially, I have been urged to write a short sketch of my career. I do so with much reluctance as most of it has already been recorded in my work "A Natal Family Looks Back".

Contents: The Zulu, His Religious Beliefs and Magic/The Zulu Government and the Way of Life/Cannibalism in Natal/The Zulu and His Snuff Box/Lobolo and its Significance/Zulus I have known/The Zulu War Aftermath/Zulu Poems of the Second Great War/The Praises of Field Marshall J.C.Smuts/The Royal Navy/The Royal Air Force/Places of Interest in Natal and Zululand.
