KAFIR STORIES. By WILLIAM CHARLES SCULLY.
"He writes of South Africa with the sure knowledge, the sympathy, and almost with the vigor that Mr. Kipling bestows upon his Hindu stories.... His strongly picturesque and eventful tale of adventure and warfare ... there is no false sentiment ... the narrative of their long march, their triumphs, their betrayal and finally their brave death is thrilling."— N. Y. Times.
"An extraordinary piece of work.... South Africa may be said to have her Kipling in him."— Miss Gilder in N. Y. World.
