Sobre este artículo
(London: Humphrey Milford / Oxford University Press, 1938). Translated and edited by Cyril G. Hall. 8vo; original blue cloth, lettered in gilt on spine; no dustwrapper; tinted top edge; pp. xv + (i) + 525, incl. index; plates; 3 folding maps. A little foxing to edges and endpapers, occasional fox spot elsewhere. Very good condition. 'This detailed study of the history of South West Africa up to the date of Maharero's death in 1890 was originally published in German and appeared in an English version for the first time in 1938 when it was recognised as the first standard work on the subject. The author's extensive ethnological and linguistic studies made him especially well equipped to give a detailed account of the country and its people, and of the customs and languages of the different tribes. A considerable part of the book deals with the gradual colonization of the country by European pioneers whose various adventures are recorded in a mass of "old notes, letters, reports and diaries"; and the historical side is supplemented by an ethnological account of the native tribes.' - From the later Frank Cass reprint .
