London: Bell and Daldy, First edition, 8vo, [4], 156pp., half-title, coloured frontispiece, 6 coloured plates with tissue guards, contemporary calf, hinges slightly rubbed, small piece missing from head of spine, school prize binding with the gilt arms of the Forest School, Essex, on both covers. "The tour occupied a period of three months, and included visits to Swellendam, Knysna, George, and many other districts. The account of the visit of Tristan D'Acunha is very interesting, but the inhabitants seem to have been in poor circumstances, and most of them were desirous of leaving; only a small proportion of the island was habitable, and even in this small area the ground had already become impoverished." - Mendelssohn. Mendelssohn, p.628.
