Sobre este artículo
London: House of Commons, 1836. 122 pages. 2 folding maps by Arrowsmith. Excellent copy in later quarter cloth. The Xhosa chief Hintza was shot while trying to escape and his body was later mutilated by relic hunters among the settler provisionals pursuing him. D'Urban correctly assessing 'the hold the canting party would make of it in England' attempted to justify this quasi-judicial murder on the ground that Hintsa was 'a most irreclaimable and treacherous villain'. His use of the word 'irreclaimable' proved injudicious, bringing down on him the full fury of the evangelicals in England. One of the two fine coloured maps 'marked with assegais shows the extent of the invasion which covered the country with blood and ashes'.
