Uncommon, not on BLPC, COPAC has copies at Oxford and Cambridge only, twelve copies on OCLC.Self-justificatory history of events surrounding the Anglo-Zulu War by the "White Chief of the Zulus". After the annexation of the country by the British, his kraal Emangete was recognised as a native reserve. The tone of the piece can be inferred from comments in the Editor's Preface - Bulwer, "...the hesitant and timid tool of a set of vacillating, invertebrate, weak-kneed and unprincipled political poltroons...", "...a Liberal Government under Gladstone, who seemed and seem to revel in heartlessly abandoning devoted loyalists...".Dunn was requested to deliver Bulwer's ultimatum to Cetewayo but refused, a copy was left with him however and the text is reprinted here in full.
