FIRST EDITION. "The Directors of the Missions of the 'United n', having been frequently requested by the missionaries at Genadendal and Groenekloof to send a minister to visit these settlements, Mr. Latrobe was appointed for that service, and left England on October I, 1815. The Governor of the Cape had expressed a wish that a third station should be opened, and in order to choose a site the author travelled through a large part of the country [leaving Cape Town on March 5, 1816, and journeying] right up to the Fish River" (Mendelssohn).
