The text of this volume is a series of letters, dated 1861 & 1862, originally published in the Cape Monthly Magazine from 1870 to 1879. They vividly describe life in the Cape Town of those years. The name of the author of the letters is unknown for certain and has been the subject of much speculation.
The letters are probably the work of various parties. This edition illustrated with contemporary drawings by Thomas Bowler.
