Lost in the Stars is a biographical study of Alexander William Roberts, a Free Church of Scotland missionary educator who in 1883 was posted to the Lovedale Institution at Alice, South Africa. Inspired by the night sky of the southern hemisphere, Roberts became a leading observer of variable stars and an early contributor to the theory of close interacting binary stars. He actively promoted the development of colonial scientific culture and was elected president of the South African Association for the Advancement of Science in 1913. His teaching career at Lovedale fostered a commitment to the interests of his African students and their communities. In 1920 Roberts was appointed to the South African senate to represent “native” Africans; he also served as senior member of the Native Affairs Commission. Despite his liberal instincts he acquiesced to the movement toward racial segregation as advanced in the Natives (Urban Areas) and Native Administration Acts. Roberts nonetheless militated against the erosion of the Cape non-racial franchise rights; he resigned from the Native Affairs Commission just as the all-white parliament was poised to remove Africans from the common voters’ roll. His engagement with the politics of race interfered with Roberts’s astronomical research. Although he published nearly one hundred papers in scientific journals most of his observational data remained unknown until the Boyden Observatory’s Roberts archive was digitized in 2006. His influence as a mission educator also has been little known, although among his pupils were journalist and academic D.D.T. Jabavu, the physician James Moroka, and Swazi king Sobhuza I.

Excerpt from Lovedale, South Africa: Illustrated by Fifty Views From Photographs Hese reproductions from photographs are intended to give the friends and supporters of the Mission, as well as others, some representation of Lovedale and its surroundings. The letterpress which accompanies each view, as well as this Introduction, will afford some information about the place, its gradual progress, and the different kinds of work carried on. Numerous as the views are, they are only a portion of what might have been given. There are in all twenty-five separate buildings. The site which the missionaries received was at first a bare hill-side and a flat valley covered with mimosa trees. The change has been effected by the aid of the friends of missions, who have supported the la hours of the missionaries.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1894 edition. Excerpt: ... fifty views from photographs view looking south-west The immediate surroundings of Lovedale have been described in a previous page. The above view shows only the roofs of two buildings and a portion of the Lovedale lands, but it gives a fair representation of the contour-of the surrounding country on the south. Immediately to the north rise the Amatola mountains, with beautiful fertile valleys and many streams. This country was the home of the various tribes forming the true Kaffir race. Four times during the last sixty years they have fought stubbornly with the British power for the possession and sovereignty of this territory. The first great struggle occurred in 1835, and was very disastrous to the Kaffirs in land, property, and life. Then occurred the War of the Axe in 1846. This was followed by a protracted struggle in 1850-53; and finally by the war of 1877-78, in which Sandilli lost his life, having been killed by a rifle shot near Pirie, thirty miles distant from Lovedale. road through lovedale The above view shows a road passing through Lovedale, with the water-course which supplies the station with water. It is brought from the Chumie River, a distance of over two miles. This water-course was begun in the early days of the Mission, before the adjacent territory was annexed to the Colony, by Captain C. Lennox Stretch, then Diplomatic Agent with the native tribes. The work was carried through by him, in conjunction with the Mission, at a cost of over 600. One half of this was generously met by Captain Stretch himself, and the other half by the Mission, aided by the contributions of two members of the respected Society of Friends, who were travelling through South Africa,

"At a strategic time in South Africa's history, the Christian history which is absolutely basic to all developments, is presented in a comprehensive and objective way. Too little attention is given to the influence of religion in socio-political accounts. This is a creative and much-needed contribution to scholarship and general knowledge. . . . An outstanding work."--Dean S. Gilliland, Fuller Theological Seminary
