South Africa A Century Ago is a book that consists of a collection of letters written by Anne Lindsay Barnard during her time in Cape of Good Hope from 1797 to 1801. The book was first published in 1901 and provides a unique insight into the life and culture of South Africa during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Barnard was a Scottish woman who accompanied her husband, Andrew Barnard, to South Africa when he was appointed as the colonial secretary to the Governor of Cape of Good Hope. During her stay, she wrote letters to her family and friends back in Scotland, detailing her experiences and observations of the country and its people. The letters in the book cover a wide range of topics, including the natural beauty of South Africa, the customs and traditions of the indigenous people, the political situation, and the daily life of the colonists. Barnard also writes about her personal experiences, such as her encounters with wild animals and her struggles with illness.Overall, South Africa A Century Ago is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history and culture of South Africa. The book provides a firsthand account of life in the country during a significant period of its history and sheds light on the perspectives and attitudes of the colonists towards the indigenous people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
