Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ruin of Zululand, Vol. 2 of 2: An Account of British Doings in Zululand Since the Invasion of 1879
Upon the 3rd of September, 1884, an event took place which obliges me to ask my readers' pardon for the form in which this work is brought to a close. Its concluding pages give little myond a bare summary of the events which followed the installa tion proceedings of January 1883, and led up to Cetshwayo's death on the 8th of February, 1884. My subject, indeed, could not have been forced into two volumes with any advantage to iwelf, but I had been seriously warned of the difficulty of obtaining public attention for three volumes of this description, and had, therefore, meant to confine myself to two. On the day previous to the date first mentioned above, I posted to England a roll of manuscript which com pleted about two-thirds of the intended volume, and I then had all my materials collected and partly arranged for the remaining chapters.
