Mendelssohn (Sidney) South African Bibliography volume 1 page 307, 'Mr. Casalis joined the Protestant Missionary Society in Paris, and was selected for service in South Africa. He gives a good account of the personal appearance and character of Dr. Philip, and describes in an accurate manner the Cape Boers who, he remarks, hate to be called Boers as much as they love to be called Afrikanders. The volume is of a more personal character than " The Basutos," and there is an account of the author's courtship and married life in Basutoland. In 1854 Mr. Casalis lost his wife, and soon after left South Africa to take up the direction of the Mission House in Paris.'
