The diamond exhibition in the African court was said to be the most popular. "It is hoped that this volume of Reminiscences may prove acceptable to four classes of persons: firstly, to those living in Great Britain and Ireland who take an interest in the progress made by their brethren beyond the seas; secondly, to those who, coming from India and the Colonies to participate in the imperial gathering and to judge for themselves of the results of colonial labour and enterprise, may wish to take home with them a souvenir of their visit; thirdly, to those in the Colonies and India who have heard of the exhibition and who, perhaps, played their part in its organisation, and have yet been unable to visit it; and fourthly, to foreigners who, together with British subjects, have now for the first time had an opportunity of becoming fully acquainted with the exhaustive and varied resources of the British Empire." - Preface, Frank Cundall. Quarto, bound in decorative boards with bevelled edges, all edges gilt, decorated 'cor unum via una' endpapers, 116 pages, fading to spine and mild wear to corners, a very good copy. Thomas Riley (illustratore).
