Original maroon cloth, little scuffed or marked, spine little sunned, pp. (vii) + 273, frontispiece portrait (genuine photograph laid down). Some foxing on the preliminary pages and margins, binding very slightly slack. Glanville, 1822 - 1878, journalist and missionary, began his career as a missionary in India during the early 1840s. Arrived at the Cape in 1855. Took over editorship of The Journal (formerly Graham's Town Journal) in 1866; also taking up parliamentary duties in that year. This collection of his articles and lectures, 'presented in a lively and informative manner, shows a range of interests embracing politics, Bantu affairs, economics, theology, literature, and history.'
