Abstract
This source, by an American Presbyterian missionary, is based on 15 years of residence among the Zulu. His observations cover such topics as clothing, houses, occupations, etc.; law and government; superstitions, etc.; marriage customs; character; history of American and European missions; geology; flora and fauna. Although Grout is given to occasional flights of missionary fervor, it does not seem to have seriously affected his observations.
