'One of the best works on the native races of Natal and Zululand published up to the middle of the nineteenth century. The author took great pains to gain an accurate knowledge of the habits of the people during his four years' residence in Natal, and the results of his researches have been amplified by the addition of information collected from the works of Döhne, Isaacs, and others, and the MSS. of "the unfortunate traveller, Green," and from the evidence given by Mr. Fynn before a special commission.
The volume contains a history of Chaka and his successors, together with a complete account of the personal appearance, mode of life, and the political, social, and domestic institutions of the natives, with information respecting their superstitions, laws, warfare, and manufactures.
In the appendix will be found "A Sketch of Natal," and a short grammar of the Kaffir language, and there are four lithographic plates, from sketches by Mr. E. Redinger of Natal, and a number of woodcuts in the letterpress.' - Mendelssohn Vol.II, page 315
