DANIEL VANANDA

Scully (W.C.)

Description:

The Life Story of a Human Being.

220 pages, blue cloth, spine faded.

D.S.A.B. I:705. 'Scully's particular literary merit lies in the integrity with which he records the contemporary scene. A lifetime spent in the Cape civil service gave him an intimate knowledge of South Africa and it peoples; the extent to which his books reflect the knowledge makes them a source of valuable information for the historian and sociologist.
'Scully was impartial in his championing of the oppressed. After retiring as magistrate in the Transvaal in 1915, he wrote "Daniel Vananda," in which he attacked those unscrupulous whites who exploited the African races, the book being notable for its insight into the African mind.'
