'A political and military account of Zululand and the Zulus from the time of Dingiswayo, the predecessor of Chaka, circa 1818, to the annexation of the country in 1887. The author asserts that he was induced to write the narrative because "the time when reliable information could be obtained from Zulu sources was rapidly passing away." During his term of office as magistrate in Zululand he was enabled to obtain most of the information which will be found in the volume.' - Mendelssohn Vol.I, page 597
