The Diamond-Field Keepsake - By Richard William Murray, Introduction by Brian Roberts

Of the first edition of 1873 it was written "A rare and early account of the Diamond Fields written by R.W. Murray at Kimberley, while the township was known as 'New Rush' ... the volume ... is illustrated by photographs which are quite unique. The accounts of the early days of the various townships and diggings are exceedingly interesting and reliable, and some of the information afforded is obtainable in no other publication." (S. Mendelssohn quoted in SABIB V. 3 p. 422)
