Sir George was well-respected as a soldier and a statesman, and his short rule over the Cape Colony was recognized as beneficial to the country. "This work gives a full account of the Kaffir War with Sandilli during the period of Sir George's rule, together with an account of his measures to bring about a lasting peace. There are also particulars of the war with Moshesh, and much information respecting Basutoland, and the Orange River Sovereignty." - Mendelssohn.
