Glad the government has recognized Mrs. Somerville's work. Discusses the hostility toward natives at the Cape and criticizes actions of colonists. Astronomical observing conditions at Cape are very good.
Kaffirs dispossessed by colonists. Condemns 'Colonial insolence.' Editor John Fairbairn, detested by colonists, exposed this in South African Commercial Advertiser.
