The remaining eleven and a half chapters were written by Whiteside before 1912. The completed book was first published in 1912 by Gazette. A second edition was published in 1962 by C. Struik. A copy of the second edition book was acquired by UCT Libraries at an unknown date. It was acquired and scanned by FHYA in 2021. Uploaded by Benathi Marufu for FHYA in 2021.]
