VIII. Account of the Structure of the Table Mountain, and other Parts of the Peninsula of the Cape

  • Playfair and Basil Hall
Extract

The Paper which I have the honour of presenting to the Society, is drawn up from letters written by Captain Hall to some of his friends in this country, after a visit made to the Cape of Good Hope, and an excursion to the Table Mountain, in July last. I have given the description, as much as possible, in his own words, and have only connected parts, which, from the nature of the communications, were necessarily disjoined from one another. One of the letters being written to myself, and containing a general view of the whole, has been my guide for arranging the rest.
