History of the Colony of the Cape of Good Hope from Its Discovery to the Year 1819 by A Wilmot

From 1820 to 1868 by the Hon Jon Centlivres Chase

A rare book about the history of South Africa from its earliest years to 1869. With fascinating information about the legends regarding the ancient circumnavigation of Africa, the early navigators, Robben Island as penal settlement, the character of Jan van Riebeeck, expeditions to the East Coast, conflicts with the Bushmen, thefts on the Frontier and the recall of Sir Harry Smith. Plus an Appendix with statistics re population, fixed property, commercial progress and harbours of refuge. The history in this book is fortunately not "adapted" or "purified" to suit the narrative of the woke liberals of today.

This first edition published 1869 by JC Juta, Wale Street, Cape Town. 

Condition: Foxing and blemishes, but all text clearly readable.
