Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cape Colony for the Settler: An Account of Its Urban and Rural Industries, Their Probable Future Development and Extension It will be observed that this work has been specially prepared for the guidance of those who may seek a home in Cape Colony. In order that the reader may easily find the information he requires, every Division has been separately delineated, and arranged in alphabetical order, so that even an index is scarcely necessary. Every portion of the work is based upon actual Cape experience, and in gathering much of the information, levies have been made upon newspaper editors, postmasters, farmers, Civil Commissioners, Field Cornets, and Government officials in every Department of the Government Service, to whom grateful acknowledgments are given. The author has, moreover, traversed nearly every part of the Colony in quest of reliable data. Although the work has been got ready somewhat hurriedly, and was begun at a time when martial law hampered the movements of the traveller, it is improbable that anything of importance to the intending settler has been omitted. Most of the hotels in the country raised their tariffs during the war, and have not yet lowered them, and many that were known as first-class establishments have sunk below that level. Notices of hotels have therefore been omitted until the publication of a later edition of this work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
