SOME ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS IN THE 
COLONY OF THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, FROM 
1814 TO 1819; COMPREHENDING CAPETOWN- 
GEORGE TOWN— UITENHAGEN— GRAHAM'S TOWN 
— GRAAF REYNET— PACALTSDORP — THEOPOLIS, 
&c. 
I LEFT Cape Town in February, 1814, and returned 
on a second visit February, 1819. During that period 
Cape Town, which is the residence of the government, 
and the chief town in the colony of the Cape, had in- 
creased nearly a fifth part. 
George, a town two hundred and fifty miles from the 
Cape, on the eastern coast, had, in 1814, only about four 
houses; but in 1819 it was increased to a street of nearly 
a mile in length, though the houses were not standing 
close to each other, room being left for good-sized 
gardens. 
Uitenhagen, a town fifteen miles from Algoa Bay, 
had increased one-third ; and Graham's Town in the 
same Drosdy, situated six miles higher up the country, 
from having only been composed of mere temporary 
erections, had become a considerable and handsome 
town. 
Graaf Reynet, a Drosdy town about one hundred and 
fifty miles to the westward of Graham's Town, had in- 
creased nearly one half.
