This volume is the third of The James Stuart Archive. In it, the editors present a further twenty-eight documents compiled from material in the James Stuart Collection of the Killie Campbell Africana Library in Durban. James Stuart was an official in the Natal colonial civil service in the 1890s and early years of the present century. In meticulously recorded interviews with hundreds of informants, the great majority of them Africans, he assembled a vast and unique collection of notes on the traditions and customs of the Zulu and neighbouring peoples. The documents published in the successive volumes of The James Stuart Archive represent edited, annotated and translated renderings of Stuart's notes and transcriptions. The testimony which he assembled piecemeal has been arranged by the editors under the names of the informants from whom it was obtained, and is being published in alphabetical name-order. The present volume carries the sequence from Mbokodo to Mpatshana, and brings to ninety-nine the number of informants whose statements have so far been published in the series.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Ten Weeks in Natal: A Journal of a First Tour of Visitation, Among the Colonists, and Zulu Kafirs of Natal The present population of the district may be numbered at about Europeans, of whom, perhaps, are Dutch, and from to Kafirs. The only towns are Maritz burg and Durban, distant from each other rather more than fifty miles: but there are several rising villages, such as Richmond, Ladi smith, York, Verulam, Weenen, Byrne, Pine town, 850. The condition of the inhabitants, Christian and Heathen, at the present time, will more fully appear from the J ournal which follows. But, to explain some of its allusions, it will be necessary to give a brief account of the chief points of notice in the previous history of the colony - parts of which I have extracted from a narrative, Which I formerly wrote, of the same events, for the monthly record of the Gospel Propagation Society, as well as from an Appeal, which I have more recently circulated.
