Goetzsche, Eric : A Bold Hand. The Story of Goodrickes 1849-1974

(Durban, 1974)

Being annals of their law firm, with biographical and historical highlights. 8vo; original olive rexine; pp. xii + 199; black-and-white photographic plates. Spine gilt a little dull; sporadic moderate foxing. Very good condition. "The legal firm, now called Goodrickes, with which, since its foundation a century and a quarter ago, the name of Goodricke has always been a part, has come a long way since John Richardson Goodricke first hung up his board here in the little town of D'Urban. Those who know it and read this work will not fail to note that it seems still to exhibit some of those vigorous characteristics with which its founder tackled the multiplicity of activities which filled his life, from the time of his arrival in 1849 until the end of his colourful and controversial career. The firm's growth from small beginnings to its present strength could not have been achieved unless its members had, throughout the years, indeed not only sold real professional skills but also lent their integrity."
