Excerpt from Cape of Good Hope Journals of Two Visitations, in 1848 and 1850I start far from well, and in some fear of a recur rence of my late severe illness: my medical man, however, hopes that the journey may benefit my health. My mode of travelling is in a good plain English wagon, drawn by eight horses; we carry with us abundant provisions for the way, in case we should either be stopped by rivers, or not able to find accommodation; my wagon too is so arranged that I can by letting down the back of my seat make a tolerable bed for myself.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
