"This goodly volume at once of Theory and of Practice is. the first attempt on the part of any member of the Legal Profession in South Africa to give an account of the Theory and Practice prevailing in our South African Colonies. . Mr. Van Zyl is undoubtedly happy in his choice of a subject and there can be no doubt of the opportuneness of his work. We are glad to be able to say that we think Mr. Van Zyl is no less happy in his general treatment of his subject than in his conception of the book which it seemed to him was wanted. That his treatise will fill what was clearly a want in Colonial Legal Literature we cannot doubt nor can we doubt that it will be valuable alike to the Practitioner in Privy Council Appeals and to the Legal Profession at the Cape.": Law Magazine and Law Review Fifth Series 19 1893-94 93.
