Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lays of South Africa: On Topics Principally Modern My South African Lays have all been written in South Africa, and are so far, at least, true to their title, as most of them will also be found in other respects. The exceptions will not, perhaps, offend by number or irrelevancy. This I wish to say without claiming any particular acquaintance with the country, or knowledge of it, beyond what is within the reach of any observer not remarkable for dulness. Yet some things in this book may appear new, even to South African readers; many of whom may not know, till informed here, that the "Meteor Scene" was a reality, or that "Bog-na-fin" - of disputed etymology - is a suburb of Grahamstown. A heartfelt desire shall be accomplished if any good, in the way of instruction or even of amusement, can in this way be imparted to the Reading Public, especially the young, whose approbation has already gone far towards making me indifferent to the dictum of professional faultfinders, to whom literary criticism is pretty much what politics was to Craig in "Adam Bede" - a thing rather of assumed than actual intuition.
