Macmillan & Co, London 264pp + 2 folding maps. 1st ed., in worn original green cloth with occasional minor tone spotting. Description and history of the colony. 'Conversant for many years with the negro races in those Eastern lands where they may be, from long domicilement, regarded as almost indigineous, I have felt a special interest in observing their present condition and probable future in the Western regions of more recent adoption. In no European colony have they been so completely identified with the soil as in Dutch Guiana; nowhere could they be studied to better advantage. To those, therefore, who feel interest, not in African geography only, but in African nationality, I commend the results of my observations on this subject.' (Preface). Scarce.
