DANIEL VANANDA THE LIFE STORY OF A HUMAN BEING BY W.C. IN SOUTH AFRICA

 First edition published by Juta in 1923. A good copy of the purple cloth variant with light foxing on the initial pages and a light page stain on the introductory pages viii & ix. In his preface Scully declares "this book has been written with a purpose; it embodies an attempt to throw light on the relations between White and Black Peoples in South Africa, - relations which are becoming more and more unsatisfactory" (p. vii). 'Scully was impartial in his championing of the oppressed. After retiring as a magistrate in the Transvaal in 1915, he wrote Daniel Vananda, in which he attacked those unscrupulous whites who exploited the Bantu races, the book being notable for its insight into the Bantu mind.' - Dictionary of South African Biography, vol. 1 p. 705.
