(Strange Collection, 1168; Doke, p. 252; SABIB 4, p. 703) Uncommon title: OCLC finds just the North-West University Library copy."As regards books in Zulu, there are many to be had, and some of them are excellent. The knowledge they impart is without doubt of great service in many cases. But I think they will of only limited service to beginners and to junior pupils. One fault is that they presume some previous knowledge or insight on the part of their readers, such as very often does not exist. Again, they have always seemed to me to fail in not being sufficiently full in the explanation of difficult points, and also to fail in not being graduated carefully and easily, so as to render it possible that progress may be at once easy and sure." Books: Elementary Zulu. A Course of Easy Elementary Lessons in the Zulu Language. Intended Chiefly for Beginners and Junior Pupils

The past century has wrought a vast change in his appearance, vernacular, sobriety, diversions, and general behaviour. We can congratulate ourselves, however, that a better type has been evolved, although we can still recognise to-day modified (and improved) specimens of the men who were in residence in the early twenties."

The articles appeared originally in Die Vaderland. Subsequently collected and arranged by Dr. M. S. B. Kritzinger, they were published in book form under the title Burgers van die Berge, by J. L. van Schaik Ltd., of Pretoria. These chapters in popular vein are but sparks from the anvil on which the author had been fashioning for years a more detailed and scientific work, The Soul of the Ape, the final manuscript of which has unfortunately been lost. A small portion of the first draft of The Soul of the Ape has, however, been included."

About the product Signed on the title page by the author James Walton. An edition limited to 200 copies. 4to; laminated pictorial boards; pp. vi + 47; photographs; line drawings. Fine condition."During the years 1943 and 1944 I was stationed at Mhow in Central India and this afforded me ample opportunity to visit and record the activities of several of the depressed classes living in the surrounding area, which was formerly the kingdom of Malwa. From the 8th century onwards Malwa was under the rule of the Paramara kings but in the beginning of the 13th century they were overthrown by the Musalmans, who commenced to establish themselves in the splendid Vindlyan City of Mandu.. The following account of some of the depressed classes of Malwa was written largely in 1944 and presents only the conditions at that time. No attempt has been made to bring it up-to-date. All the photographs were taken by James Walton with a Box Brownie camera and all drawings were made at the same time."

Dustwrapper a little edgeworn; scattered foxing. Good condition."Butler's poetry brings into clear focus qualities he has variously shown as a man, a soldier, a teacher, and a dramatist - among them his humanity, warmth, and joie de vivre. How remarkable is its unforced naturalness: this is the hard-won product of a whole culture and a mature talent. From the impressionability of his boyhood and adolescence comes his intimate sense of place and atmosphere, and from his good nature such affectionate portraits as those of Uncle Danby and the Farmer."- From the Introduction by William Plomer
