“One of the most valuable books on the early history of Natal” (Mendelssohn).

An upbeat account of the colony, which at the time of publication had only been a British dependency for ten years. Although much of the work is devoted to the early pioneers, Holden thoughtfully describes the establishment of government and discusses the question of the Orange River Sovereignty. Mendelssohn I, p724.
