Third Series, No. 1. 8vo; original dark brown cloth, lettered in gilt on spine and upper cover; pictorial dustwrapper in protector; ribbon marker; pp. x + 317, incl. index and catalogue; plates (some colour); maps; illustrations in text. Fine condition. 'The Reverend James Laing was one of the earliest missionaries of the Glasgo…w Missionary Society to arrive on the eastern frontier of South Africa in 1831. Like many other missionaries, he kept a daily journal until his death in 1872. This volume consists of the first six years of his journal, a tumultuous period on the Eastern Cape frontier. Laing was a private man who wrote considerably less about himself than about the amaXhosa whom he served, showing an insatiable interest in their language, genealogy, history, customs and societal structure. Together with his eventual mastery of isiXhosa, this gave him unparalleled insights into amaXhosa society. Laing's interest, gentleness, sincerity and empathy earned him the trust of amaXhosa leaders like Maqoma, Suthu, Sandile and the many amaXhosa he encountered. When he died in 1872, an obituary published in isiXhosa referred to Laing as "Indoda ebisithanda" (the man who loved us).'.
