Abstract:The first edition ceased at 1936; this book takes the story to 1964. Still, 'the purpose of this record is to reflect matters with which the white community were mostly concerned, what it was like for them to live in Lusaka up to independence, and perhaps most important of all, to provide the reader with a yard-stick to measure the success or otherwise of the endeavours of the white community to make Lusaka a desirable place to live in.' (foreword to the 2nd ed., p.l.) 4 Appendices: School registers, 1925 - The mayors of Lusaka - Some old street names - names of districts.
