Dustwrapper sunned on spine panel, with short tear to top edge of lower panel; trace of foxing to top edge and reverse of dutwrapper. Very good condition. "This anthology, compiled mainly from contemporary accounts in the Quarterly Paper of the Free State Mission, gives a description of the work of the Anglican Church in the Orange Free State under its first two Bishops, and of the great contribution it made to the development of the Republic, out of all proportion to its actual size or strength. At the same time the book provides a vivid picture of life in the Free State during the sixties, seventies and eighties of the nineteenth century, and of its people, White, Black and Coloured." .
