Sobre este artículo
(Morija: Morija Sesuto Book Depot, 1967). An edition limited to 3000 copies. 8vo; original blue rexine, lettered in gilt on spine, with gilt device to upper cover; pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 583, incl. index; photographs; maps, incl. folding. Dustwrapper edgeworn and rippled, with earlier owner's tape repairs to reverse; slightest trace of damp-staining to bottom edge; endpapers and edges a little foxed. Good to very good condition. "Dr. R. C. Germond has rendered a service to Basutoland, to South Africa, and to students of history in general in publishing these translations of the letters of the early French Protestant missionaries in Basutoland. ... These letters tell the story of men of God who came to Basutoland primarily to preach the Gospel and never forgot that first calling, but who almost unwillingly found themselves often cast for the role of ambassadors or special pleaders for the Basuto people. They tell the story also of their heroic wives, whose part in the pioneering story is certainly not of minor importance. Let the letters speak for themselves. They tell a dramatic story and tell it with candour and simplicity. Those who love Basutoland, will thank Dr. Germond for his work." - From the Foreword, by Edgar H. Brookes. .
