SOUTHERN AFRICA. 
This hope is mainly based on the effort 
which has been made to condense into a por- 
table and readable form, those points of interest 
to the general reader, which may tend not only 
to amuse, but to be instructive : whilst to those 
who are personally interested in the matter, 
we hope pleasure and information, and not 
"ennui" may have been afforded, by the pe- 
rusal of these compiled and cursory notices of 
Southern Africa.
