Description:	'Not previously published the Journals and Diaries are the private records of the life of a remarkable Scotswoman, the wife of the Colonial Secretary during the first British occupation of the Cape. They tell of her attempts to reconcile the Dutch to British rule, and are particularly important in recording what official accounts ignore. Lady Anne has much to say about the social customs and modes of thought of the many groups and communities: Dutch, English; Khoi and San; slaves and free blacks; military and civilians; aristocrats, middle-class and laborers; officials, merchants and professionals; men and women.'
