40 p. + Frontis and text illustrations. 12mo. Original full cloth binding, stamped in gold. Original dust jacket. One of 750 copies privately printed by George Grady Press, New York for George Zabriskie as a Christmas greeting. Presented to Mr. & Mrs. (Walter) Klinefelter [the bibliographer and scholar from Red Lion, PA]. This story "was taken from Everybody's Magazine of August 1906 as republished without illustrations in Rolling Stones in 1912." George Albert Zabriskie (1860-1954) was President of the New York Historical Society from 1939-1947, and Honorary President from 1948 until his death in 1954. He was a great enthusiast of fine books and book binding, and an expert amateur hand-tooler and finisher of books. Though he lived in New York City, he "wintered" in Florida, and issued these charming Christmas keepsakes from his home: "The Doldrums" a Mission-Spanish Revival residence designed by Albert Pierce. A bright copy of a nice little keepsake. W69

At the time this work was published the Colony had only been recognised as a British dependency for ten years, and its natural advantages, such as the harbour of D'Urban being safer than that of Table Bay, led the author to be optimistic about its future. The "early settlers came on the scene about three years after the total devastation of the country by the Zulu king, Chaka..... The settlement of the Dutch in the colony, and the eventual occupation of it by the British are carefully gone into,..... A good description is given of the gradual establishment of civil government, and of the progress of the Colony, with notes on the towns, villages, and other settlements, and the Kaffir War,....".?Mendelssohn. Mendelssohon, 1, pp.724-5.
