These are the opening words of the author's preface, which ends with a challenge to those who would like to join him in a journey through Africa from south to north. From Mendelssohn p 601 "Although the volume contains a description of a hunting trip through the Kalahari, the greater part of the work consists of a narrative of travels and adventures in the Transvaal. The author, an experienced sportsman, made arrangements with another keen hunter for a shooting expedition in 'Tropical Africa' with the intention of disembarking at Cape Town and taking a coaster to Walvisch Bay. This plan, however, did not prove feasible, and they decided to proceed up country via Natal.". Book No: 2501740
