| Yes its a shame the scans arn't too good at times. If you endeavour with them you can just about make out what they say which is why I posted them up but it makes your eyes go squiffy after a while. Some are so bad I don't even bother attempting to read them though it is frustrating when you can read the title but not the article. |

| Kate,
Apparently Sobhuza is the modern accepted spelling. The variations are Victorian anomalies.
