The articles appeared originally in Die Vaderland. Subsequently collected and arranged by Dr. M. S. B. Kritzinger, they were published in book form under the title Burgers van die Berge, by J. L. van Schaik Ltd., of Pretoria. These chapters in popular vein are but sparks from the anvil on which the author had been fashioning for years a more detailed and scientific work, The Soul of the Ape, the final manuscript of which has unfortunately been lost. A small portion of the first draft of The Soul of the Ape has, however, been included."

Very good condition. Afrikaans text."By die deurlees van hierdie geskiedenis kom'n mens weer eens onder die besef van die durf wat'n vorige geslag aan die dag gelê het en die vertroue wat hulle in hul dorps- en distrikgenote gestel het. Om'n bank te stig nadat soveel dergelike instellings, insluitende sy voorganger in Stellenbosch, van die toneel verdwyn het, het sonder twyfel moed vereis. Ons, die nageslag, kan dus hulde bring aan die nagedagtenis van die stigters en hul opvolgers."

A pioneering history of Afrikaners in South African commerce."Sonder om afbreuk te wil doen aan die geweldige bydrae van die Engelssprekendes en ander groepe van ons bevolking, lê Eric Rosenthal in Manne en Maatskappye die vinger op die vroeë Afrikaanse winkeliers en groothandelaars, ambagsmanne en fabrikante, veral in nywerhede soos die wamakery, waarin hulle eens die leidende rol gespeel het. Die doel was om die geskiedenis na te gaan tot buite die ou Kaapkolonie, tot in Natal en die twee Boererepublieke. Ten slotte word vir die eerste keer aandag gegee aan die belangrike rol van die Helpmekaar, daardie merkwaardige beweging gebore uit die nood van die 1914-rebellie, wat vir die hele Afrikanervolk die eerste bewys van sy inherente ekonomiese krag gebring het. Daardeur is die weg voorberei vir die stigting van die groot getal Afrikaanse finansiële, nywerheids- en mynondernemings, waarvan die sukses en vooruitsigte vandag regverdige trots wek."
