Natal; A History And Description Of The Colony: Including Its Natural Features, Productions, Industrial Condition And Prospects Brooks, Henry; Mann, Dr. R.J. (Ed.) Africa

"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. General foxing. Moderate spine slant. Few markings to contents which were once wet as is particularly evident at and about page 176. A worthy reading example of this informative vintage work.; 8vo
