Book Description
Excerpt from Through South Africa With the British Association During the course of the trip described in these pages I kept a fragmentary diary of the chief events as they occurred. I also wrote letters home, descriptive of those details of the journey which I thought would interest my family. On my return it was suggested that I should combine the diary and the letters into a more complete story of what had been a most interesting and unique trip. This I have attempted to do in the following pages. At intervals I have added certain re ections that were impressed upon me during the journey, when the incidents that brought them up were fresh in my mind. For any Opinions so expressed I am alone responsible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
