Excerpt from Records of the Cape Colony, Vol. 12: From May 1818 to January 1820, Copied for the Cape Government, From the Manuscript Documents in the Public Record Office, London The applications to the Government to be sent out to South Africa as Settlers were so numerous in 1819 and the beginning of 1820 that with the testimonials and correspondence attached to them they would fill a volume. I have not considered it necessary to give more than a few specimens, as far the greater number of the applicants were rejected or drew back before sailing. The lists of those sent out are not quite complete in London. Every document of the slightest importance relating to the emigration, with the exception mentioned, has been copied for publication.
