Clarke (S.) ZULULAND AT WAR 1879 Square 4to (270 x 270 mm) The conduct of the Anglo-Zulu War. First Series, number 10: 300 pages, frontispiece, 4 maps, 70 plates - some in colour, blue cloth, a very good copy in the dust jacket. `Inadequacies of the British Army had been revealed in the Crimean War and reforms had supposedly been introduced to remedy the defects, but the Anglo-Zulu War showed clearly that many shortcomings still remained, especially in the sphere of transport and supply. The letters in this volume, all previously unpublished, reveal this struggle for change and the opposing conservative and reforming elements within the army. Written mostly by officers serving in Zululand, the texts are freely expressed, without fear of censorship. Most are addressed to the chief of the intelligence department; others are by members of the British Royal Familiy to the governor of the Cape Colony, Sir Bartle Frere. New facts emerge in these frank and often highly critical letters, while also published are the proceedings of the court martial which took place as a result of the death of the Prince Imperial and which were subject to an embargo for a hundred years.` Editor’s note.

Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK) Map of South Africa, 1834 Printed area measures 31.5x39cm A map of South Africa, as it was known in 1834, with Fort Beaufort, Fort Willshire and Fredericksburg being shown as the easternmost outposts of British influence. It is the earliest map I have seen on which the military village of Fredericksburg is shown. The borders of the administrative districts were outlined in colour by hand. The areas around Grahamstown, George, and the Cape of Good Hope are shown enlarged at the top of the map and a large scale map of Cape Town is inserted at the bottom right. The map was published by Baldwin & Cradock, under direction of the SDUK. The details were obtained from various sources, which are fully acknowledged on the map. Printed by gravure, there is a small flaw from the coast between Cape St Francis and Plettenberg Bay, extending upwards but destroying very little detail. The map was mounted, in about 1975, on thick card with no apparent ill effects The `Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge` (SDUK) was an organization, founded in 1828, at the instigation of the idealistic Scot, Henry Peter Brougham. He became Lord Chancellor in 1830, in the government of Earl Grey, and was later raised to the peerage as the first Baron Brougham and Vaux. The admirable goal of the Society, was to distribute useful information via a series of publications to the English working and middle classes. The Society failed to achieve many of its lofty goals and closed its doors in 1848, but managed to publish several extraordinary atlases of impressive detail and sophistication. The maps remain among the most impressive examples of mid-19th century English mass market cartographic publishing available.

Material from the bottom margin of this copy some 13 cm long by a depth varying from 1 cm at the front increasing to a maximum of 2.5 cm at the back has been lost to water damage. The book-block is now fully dry and unciscoloured (see image), and a third of gilding of the bottom page edge is intact. The material loss represents a maximum of half the depth of the lower margin and readability is not affected. The same damage has discoloured the bottom of the endpapers, with some flaking at the back and slight damage to the lower back corner.
