'Honour Without Riches' has been inspired by the rediscovery of some boxes of lively and informative family letters and diaries. In the sympathetic hands of Dr Ruth Gordon, who has edited them with obvious enjoyment, they tell of some of the great events of our history and give also a unique insight into the pleasures and hardships of South African life in the nineteenth century."
