Item description from seller

Rhodesiana Reprint Library Silver Series, Volume 15. Text facsimile of the Heinemann edition of 1897, with a new foreword and index. 8vo; original brown boards, lettered in silver gilt on spine, with silver gilt ox-waggon device to upper cover; pictorial dustwrapper; pp. (xiv) + xv + (iii) + 218 + (ix), incl. index; plates. Dustwrapper a little sunned on spine panel; trace of spotting to top edge; top fore-corner of lower board slightly turned. Very good condition. "The purpose of Du Toit's series of firsthand observer 'sketches' was to report progress on Rhodesia - then only four years old - to the South African public. Little escaped his notice and his comments on travel, agricultural opportunities, flora and fauna, the early settlers (with particular reference to Afrikaners), mining prospects, the first urban settlements, African tribal life, and Rhodes's new telegraph and railway, make fascinating reading.".
