Quick Overview
The documents here for the first time published as a complete series cover Robert Moffat's five visits to Moselekatse, from 1829 to 1859. In the main they are the journal-letters he wrote almost invariably day by day to his wife Mary at Kuruman, sending them down in packets as opportunity offered. Their narrative is amplified by extracts from letters to his brother Richard at Inverkeithing, from his reports to the Directors of the London Missionary Society, and letters to Sir George Grey, the Governor of the Cape at the time of his last trip. With a portrait frontispiece in colour, 2 other plates and a fold-out map at the end. Government Archives of Southern Rhodesia - Oppenheimer Series Number One

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
