	Extract from William John Burchell's book: "Travel in the interior of South Africa"
		In September 1811 Burchell travelled inland to Griquatown with the Missionaries, Anderson and Kramer after their absence from the village for many years.
		To persuade them to erect such buildings, had been, as Mr Anderson informed me, his constant endeavour; and it was not without reason that he complained of the laziness of the people, and of their unwillingness to regulate their conduct by his instructions and advice.
		This increase of population was occasioned by the return home of those families who had been residing with their cattle on the banks of the Gariep during the dry season.
