1975 hardcover with dust jacket and 401 pages in very good condition. Volume one in the Africana Reprint Library series.

A rather interesting account of a tour throughout South Africa from March to October 1878. The author, who was in search of health, started from Pietermaritzburg, and enjoyed some good shooting and hunting en route; amongst other places visited were Spitzkop and Lydenburg, and there is an excellent description of the goldfields at this period, together with notes on the Boers and the natives. Some particulars are afforded respecting the campaign with Sekukuni, and there is a reproduction of a Royal Proclamation calling for volunteers, which shows the extraordinary methods adopted by the Government in order to induce the inhabitants to enlist. - Mendelssohn, Sydney; South African Bibliography, Vol 2, page 267.
