James Stuart (1868–1942) was a civil servant of the Colony of Natal and Zulu linguist; also a collector of Zulu oral tradition. He compiled five school readers containing Zulu poetry and narrative.
Webb's notes were posthumously edited and published by Colin Webb (historian) and John Wright.[1][2][3][4]
