Note This volume takes the form of a diary. The author started his travels in Mauritius and then journeyed to the Cape in 1838 from where he travelled constantly throughout South Africa visiting numerous Missions, hospitals and towns. He appears to have visited every prominent missionary in the country. "There is a good description of Kaffraria , and of the Basuto, Griqua and Bechuna countries.... ample of descriptions of the flora country." (Mendelssohn). |
