Excerpt from Natal: Its Early History, Rise, Progress and Future Prospects, as a Field for Emigration
Colonist. Other sections have been handled very briefly. They, however, could not have been more full without rendering the book, from its size, less convenient and useful, and the price would necessarily have been increased. As it is, although of a size to be conveniently carried in the pocket, the work contains information on almost every subject of utility and interest, brought down as closely as possible to the time of publication. The writer makes no claim to originality or literary excellence, but has simply aimed to reduce to some shape and form a mass of information useful and important to emigrants who lack the books of reference to which he has applied.
