Description: London: L. Reeve & Co, 1876. First Edition. Hardcover. "In preparing the following pages of a description of the Colony of Natal the author has been mainly influenced by the desire to produce a readable book which may convey in an easy and pleasant form an exact picture of the existing condition and circumstances of the land; but he has also entertained the hope that whilst furnishing this sketch in broad outline, he may also be in reality making a first contribution to a permanent history of an important and promising dependency." - Preface. xii, 336, 16 [ads] pp. Two maps, including one fold-out. Several colour illustrations and faded photos. Lacking flower illustration at page 172 and portrait of Langalibalele at page 269. Soundly rebound in maroon faux leather. Average external wear.
