First published as a part work (30 parts) c. 1875 by Cassell, Peter and Galpin. Later issued in hardbound several times. Cassell and Co. Ltd would indicate sometime in the later 1890's.

Thanks Steve so not the end of the world. I bought it from my Grandaughters school white elephant stall. Emery's Marching over Africa. Wilmot and this for R50.00 ( that 9year old drove a hard bargain ) thats around 3 GBP. So not a bad start to the weekend, now I need the Mighty Mighty Springboks to thrash the All Blacks tomorrow and life would be good.
Cheers Im of to Pretoria to watch the Game.
