incwadi yami or twenty years of personal experience in south africa,  Africana Book Society, 1976, Mining, 1976, hardcover, facsimile reprint of the 1887 edition, illustrated, 540 pages, condition: as new.


:The author left England in 1864, having been appointed Surgeon to the Tugela, bound for Port Natal with emigrants, and on his arrival in South Africa he succeeded in obtaining the post of District Surgeon to Victoria Country (Natal). Dr. Matthews proceeded to the diamond fields in 1871; he had already sent up a party to work in the mines, in charge of Mr. G. J. Lee, afterwards Chairman of the Kimberley Mining Board, a gentleman well known as an expert geologist. The author was for many years closely identified with every social and political movement on the fields, and his description of the diamond fields, and his references to the " Illicit Diamond Trade," are particularly interesting. There are particulars of The Kimberley Company and Share Mania of r88r," " The early History of the Diamond Fields," An account of the Black Flag Riot," together with sketches of the author's adventures in Basutoland, Swaziland, and the Transvaal, where he eventually settled.
