CHARLES DICKENS AND EVANS, CRYSTAL PALACE PRESS.
FOOTNOTES:
[1] “Few things struck me more than the evident haste and temporary character of the defensive measures undertaken by the English part of the population”—in the border districts of Natal. (See letter from Sir Bartle Frere to Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, dated March 28th, 1879. P. P. [C. 2318] p. 32.)
[2] Spelt thus to give the nearest proper pronunciation of “Cetywayo.”
[3] Residence of the Bishop of Natal.
[4] These people had refused to leave their homes, or desert their Bishop, as long as he and his family remained at Bishopstowe, although both black and white, for miles around, had sought shelter elsewhere.
[5] A system not unlike the Inquisition in its evil results.
[6] Who, it may be remarked, have always been well treated in Zululand.
[7] Portions of this letter are omitted from the Blue-book. It would be interesting to see the letter as originally received.
