LATE OF THE 98TH REGT., AND A.D.C. TO LORD STRATHNAIRN. EDITED AND COMPLETED By H. B. COTTERILL. WITH MAPS AND ILLUSTRATIONS. LONDON: JOHN MURRAY, ALBEMARLE STREET. 1879. [The right of Translation is reserved.] Dedication. ΤΟ COL. THE HON. WENMAN CLARENCE WALPOLE COKE, &c. &c. &c. GUARDS' CLUB. MY DEAR COKE, Will you accept the dedication of this Work in friendly recollection of the long chats over East Africa we used to enjoy by our camp fires in Zulu-land in 1871, and as a recognition of your continued interest in Africa? Perhaps you may think I should rather have first written of the Matabele country, Zulu-land, and the Limpopo River - of prospecting for gold and African sport. I began to write on these subjects, but as I got further into my task I realised that any work touching upon the Slave Trade demanded a completely separate treatment, and therefore I commenced afresh from Mozambique and Zanzibar. Yours very sincerely, F. ELTON. b |
