Fair to good condition. (Mendelssohn I, p. 757; SABIB 2, p. 648) 'The Introduction states that the purpose of the volume "is to provide, in a condensed form, not only a reliable guide to the Natal Government Railway System, but a handbook to the colony, which will be of practical utility to the settler and traveller." It is asserted that Natal has not been brought so prominently forward as other colonies, owing mainly to its isolation, but events have marched rapidly in the State during the past decade. In addition to a large mass of valuable information on all matters connected with the colony, the work possesses a great number of beautiful illustrations, which are not altogether confined to Natal, but include some views of the Transvaal. There is a "railway altitudinal and production map of Natal," and a diagram of the Natal Government Railway, giving many statistics relating to the railway system of the colony.' - Mendelssohn.
