8vo; original red boards; pictorial dustwrapper; pp. xi + (i) + 275, incl. index; plates. Good to very good condition. Dustwrapper a bit rubbed and edgeworn; some foxing to edges and endpapers, occasional fox spot elsewhere. Very good condition. 'This book, based on the hitherto unpublished diary and letters of the Hon. Charles Smythe, throws fresh light on life in Natal during the period 1872-1918 when momentous events were taking place in South Africa. In 1872 Charles Smythe, then nineteen, left his Scottish home Methven Castle, to go to Natal as a protégé of Herbert Rhodes, eldest brother of Cecil Rhodes who was already making his name at Kimberley. Charles's first attempts to make his fortune failed (they included gold-digging in the Eastern Transvaal), but he eventually settled down to stock-farming in the Natal Midlands. . In 1905 he reached the peak of his career as Prime Minister and Colonial Secretary of Natal. In 1906 he won a political victory over Britain's Colonial Secretary (his cousin, Lord Elgin) in a clash concerning a vital constitutional issue. Charles was a delegate to the National Convention of 1908, and after Union in 1910 he became Administrator of Natal, a post he held with great success until his death in 1918. . A descendant of William the Silent, Prince of Orange, the much loved and respected Charles Smythe had the gift of being able to "walk with kings, nor lose the common touch".'.
