Very good in the original limp morocco, spine defective, front hinge split externally, extremities worn, few short marginal tears but in general clean and tight. A fascinating anthology of what was popular in upper Cape society in the 1830's and 1840's. Maria Elizabeth Cloete is recorded in Pama as a daughter of Dirk Cloete: she was baptised in 1802 or 1804 (there are two entries). Dirk Cloete married into the Van der Byl family, so we have here a vivd souvenir of the famous apocryphal legend: ""In the early Cape, there were only two Families worth considering! The one family was the b>Cloete's and the other, the van der Byl's. According to their status, the van der Byl's ONLY spoke to the Cloete's and the Cloete's ONLY spoke to God!"
