    Description

    First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding

    The first English edition of this work. 

    Translated into English by Bishop Colenso of Natal. With a portrait frontispiece of him. Colenso has added a preface and notes to this work, which he has translated from the original Dutch. 

    This work sheds light on the character and conduct of the Zulu king from an objective position. 

    With publisher's adverts to the rear. 

    A fascinating insight into this South African monarchy.

Internally, generally firmly bound though strained in places. Pages are generally bright with occasional scattered spots to pages.
