Mendelssohn I, pp.355-6; “This work severely criticises the general policy of Sir Bartle Frere towards Zululand and its king, and it is maintained that the idea of the subjugation of the Zulus had occupied the minds of certain British statesmen since the year 1873, while it was well known that a war would be popular in Natal.”
