Excerpt from The Colony of Natal: An Account of the Characteristics and Capabilities of This British Dependency
Essay first alluded to. Mr. John Robinson, of Durban, was the author of the second.
His Excellency, the lieutenant-governor, was ultimately pleased to request Dr. Mann. To prepare a kind of Guide Book to the resources and capabilities of the colony, from the subject material of these Prize Essays, and from other sources. His Excellency's commands have taken effect in the followmg pages. A considerable portion of the more practical material is derived from the contri butions of Mr. Arbuthnot and Mr. Robinson. For other matters, the editor and compiler is himself responsible. It has also been the editor's especial care to verify and authenticate all the statements of the book, by reference to various competent and reliable authori ties. The work is consequently presented to the world under these guarantees of accuracy and truthfulness. It is hoped that many readers in England will form, from the perusal of its pages, a correct notion of The Colony of Natal as it exists, in the 16th year of its own age as a settled British dependency, and in year of grace, 1859.
