A scarce volume on the author’s travels to modern-day South Africa. C.I. Latrobe (1758-1836) was an English clergyman of the Moravian Church, which was a proponent of mission work at the time. At this point, the Moravian Church was referenced to the Unitas Fratum, or the United Brethren, hence the title. A wonderful piece for restoration. COLT1818BFAW-0624-aj1747
