Notes
'Over twenty years have passed since we found some unique opportunities of observing Boer and Kaffir character in company; therefore it is not perhaps out of place that should ask you to allow me to put your name upon a book which deals more or less with the peculiarities of those races - a tale of the great Trek of 1836.' (dedication to Lieut.-Colonel Sir Marshall Clarke, R.A., K.C.M.G.).
