Description:
(London: Thomas Nelson and Sons, no date). Squarish 8vo; original blue buckram with pictorial onlay to upper board; lettered in black to spine and upper cover; pp. xiii + (iii) + 328, incl. index; twelve full-colour plates; map. Cover somewhat bumped and worn; scattered foxing; binding slightly slack. Good condition. (SABIB 1, p. 601; Hosken, p. 49 [Jack edition]) A charming presentation of South African history, with vivid illustrations by G. S. Smithard and J. S. Skelton. 'Colvin himself enriched the literature of South Africa. Together we explored the Cape Archives, and his splendid volume "Romance of South Africa," dates from the days when he was on the "Cape Times." Then he became the biographer of Dr. Jameson, one of the most brilliant, and, in some ways, one of the most indiscreet political biographies that has been written, but a fine tribute to one who had always been his friend.' - G. H. Wilson: Gone Down the Years, p. 162 .
