The journal of one of five people of a party of intrepid but uncertain travellers, who having had two waggons custom-built to their needs, departed Mafikeng for a journey to Matabililand and Mashunaland. Her overarching memory of the expedition seems, relying on the preface, to have been not the hardships and discomfort encountered, but rather that every "one we met seemed to think no trouble to great and no inconvenience worth considering which could minister to our comfort; and we shall always retain the most grateful remembrance of the wonderful hospitality of South Africa."

Second edition published 1896 by Edward Arnold, in original red cloth, gilt spine titled with pairs of horizontal gilt strips at the head and foot. Scattered foxing of endpapers, the front first one bearing the "Withdrawn" stamp of the National Archives of Malawi, Zomba, this stamp appearing again on the title page verso. All illustrations are present, as well as is the folding map of Cape Colony that has a 7cm tear into an edge. 265 rough cut pages, with some shelf soil along the top edges, followed by 34 pages of publisher's titles.
