The preface states that the expenses of this exhaustive search were shared between the author, Cecil Rhodes and the British South Africa Company. Wilmot examined the archives of the Vatican and other papers preserved in Lisbon and the Society of Jesus for traces of Monomotapa.

The work extends to 1830, the year that the last Dominican monk left the country. Mendelssohn II, p.621.
