"South Africa, vol. II." by Anthony Trollope is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the Transvaal region, detailing its geography, history, and the socio-political dynamics following its annexation by the British Empire.

The opening
of the volume introduces the author's journey from Newcastle to Pretoria, emphasizing the vast and often harsh terrain of the Transvaal. Trollope reflects on the challenges faced by travelers, such as finding adequate accommodations and resources for their horses.
