Abstract
This source is the work of a naturalist who recorded his observations as he pursued his own work in Africa. It briefly surveys the development of Zulu political, military, and legal organization of the period, emphasizing the power of the king. Note is also taken of a wide variety of other aspects of Zulu life, including: sex roles, physical characteristics, dress, cooking methods, diet, crops cultivated and gathered, hunting techniques, beliefs about illness and burial practices.
