"There are in the history of South Africa few official expeditions about which less is known than that of Dr. Andrew Smith to the Zulu monarch, Dingane, in 1832. The reason for this probably lies in the fact that the real motive for the expedition, which had very far-reaching results, was as far as possible kept secret, and any official report that may have been made by its leader was either delivered verbally or, if written, was treated as confidential and therefore never made public. No official reference to it is to be found in either our South African Archives or in the Public Record Office in London, and no report of it exists in either institution.".…

'This is a record of one of the most significant accounts of African exploration to have been written in the nineteenth century: it is not only of great potential value to researchers in the fields of the natural sciences, ethnography and history, but is packed with the kind of detail that is sought by Africana collectors and by non-specialist readers who are hungry for the factual story of our past. Smith was trained as a doctor; after some experience in overseas assignments, the British Army sent him to South Africa in 1821, posted to a regiment on the eastern frontier. He remained in South Africa until 1837, performing a variety of medical and scientific assignments, mostly work of a pioneering character - including an appointment as the first Superintendent of the newly-established South African Museum. . By 1832 the South African Literary and Scientific Institution had begun seriously to plan and develop the idea of a properly-organised expedition, which culminated in the establishment of the Expedition to Central Africa, under the directorship of Smith. . Supported by a party of some 40 members, of whom six were Europeans, Smith set forth from Graaff-Reinet in August 1834: and returned in January 1836.
