Travels through Central Africa to Timbuctoo
(Henry Colburn and Richard Bentley, 1830) Rene, C.
I offer, at length, to the public the narrative of my travels in the interior of Africa, which should have appeared long since: several causes have, however, concurred during the fifteen months that have elapsed since my return to my native soil, to retard its publication till the present time. I have brought home, from the regions I have traversed, only fugitive and very laconic notes, written in haste and trepidation: they would have been inexorable evidence against me, had I surprised, tracing unknown characters, and unveiling as it were to the Whites the mysteries of these countries.

History of the Missions of the Free Church of Scotland in India and Africa
(T. Nelson and Sons, London; Edinburgh; and New York, 1873) Hunter, R.
History of the Missions of the Free Church of Scotland in India and Africa by Rev. Robert Hunter provides an account of the missionary activities of the Free Church of Scotland in India and Africa during the nineteenth century. The work documents the development of mission stations, missionary experiences, educational and religious efforts, and the interaction between missionaries and local communities. It serves as a valuable historical source for the study of Christian missions, colonial-era religious activities, and the social history of India and Africa.
The Christian Express
(University of Fort Hare, 1877) The New Outlook Volume 7
There have been revivals in the church from the very beginning of the world. There is a sense in which the progress of the church may be said to be by a series of revivals. It must be so, for human energy flags in every pursuit. Daily toil is an apparent exception, but men are impelled to it by the dread of poverty and hunger and thirst as to prevent men from falling into a state of remissness, so that times of reviving are in a sense necessary.

(University of Fort Hare, 1880) The Christian Express
No one who cares for peace and quietness will readily enter into a controversy on a fiercely debated public question. And yet it is out of the undesirable din and turmoil of such debate, that every advance in the history of freedom, whether of thought or religion has always emerged. But there are times when peace and quiet however desirable are not attainable; and when in comparison with speech, silence merits anything but the praise bestowed upon it by a celebrated philosopher still living. It is not always 'golden', for a wiser than Carlyle has said, there is a time to speak, as well as a time to keep silence. There is also a time, we may remind some of our contemporaries, to keep old opinions, and a time to cast them away.

The following report contains a brief summary of the work done during the past year in the work done during the past year in the different sections in which it is carried on at Lovedale. The year 1880 has had some special features of its own some pleasant and encouraging, and others quite the reverse. The amount of work done during the year in all the departments has been a fair average, while it can hardly be said that the year has been one of special activity or development.

A year ago, we were able to report some advance on 1880, we are glad to be able to report a still further advance on 1881, in numbers, fees, and standard reached. Some of the changes resolved on last year have been carried out; that affecting prepayment of fees has been only partially successful.

A year ago, we were able to report some advance on 1880; we are glad to be able to report a still further advance on 1881, in numbers, fees, and standard reached. Some of the changes resolved on last year have been carried out; that affecting prepayment of fees has been only partially successful. We have again to repeat that what is wanted in order to strengthen and render permanent in after life, the work done here, is greater moral earnestness, on the part of those who are taught, and the possession of a steady aim in their work and purpose in life.

We have again to present a summary of the Report of a year's work at Lovedale in all its different sections. Compared with the previous year or years there is, in some matters, little change, a shade of difference in the numbers, these being a little lower in some divisions and higher in others- the gross number being slightly larger: a great advance in the results as tested by Government and other Examinations, and by standard reached; and a great falling off in most of the trades department.

Educationally, despite of the sudden rise in the qualification for the Teachers Certificate, and the disappointment of many, Lovedale has seldom been in a better position as to results, at the close of the year.

It is to be hoped that the Natives and their friends throughout the Colony will not relax their efforts in oppositions to the recent iniquitous proclamation affecting the Transkei from an impression that Government means now to withdraw that proclamation. There are no signs of such growth of its moral sense. Mr. Sprigg speaking at the South African College the other day, managed in some strange way to roll in the brandy cask among the prizes at their distribution.
