Plate VII "Griquatown missionary settlement" was based on a drawing by the zoologist and botanist William J. Burchell, which was supplied to the author on the understanding that it would not be sent to Europe before Burchell had returned there and that no engravings would be made from it. However, Campbell, or his publishers, decided to use it in this and later editions, without any form of acknowledgement.
In the Library copy all the plates are uncoloured, in some copies some of the plates are hand-coloured.
