About This Item
London, Edward Churton, 1836, two volumes in one, pp. xxiii, [3], 356, [ii], 402, folding map and four plates, probably lacking the half title to volume 2. Near contemporary half morocco over marbled boards. Booards rubbed, but binding firm. Some internal soiling, mainly to the preliminary leaves of each volume, plate margins browned, but generally a sound copy. An important description of the Zulu nation. See Mendelssohn vol. 1, pp 760-761 for a lengthy paragraph on the book and its "valuable notes on the country, its language, population and customs of the natives".
