A Survey of African Poetry in the London Times, Sunday Times, Financial Times, the Times Literary Supplement 1865-1985

Smith writes a review of multiple books, but of C. J. Driver's, he writes: "The first is by a gifted young South African poet, C. J. Driver. A Messiah of the Last Days is about the involvement between Tom Grace, a successful London barrister, and John Buckleson, an idealistic demagogue who leads a sect called the Free People, dedicated in our old country grown weary of the gruesome political cliches, to the building of a new Jerusalem. It's full of interest, but a touch melodramatic in its denoument."
