Excerpt from Progress of South Africa, in the Century Every reader naturally wishes to know with what authority the book in his or her hands, if it professes to be a history, has been written. What, it is asked, were the author's sources of information? What reason is there to believe that his material has been used in a judicious manner? My sources of information are archives, in which I have been making researches for a quarter of a cen tury, many hundreds of printed volumes upon South Africa in various languages, and an intimate ao quaintance with the country and its people, Euro peans and natives.

Excerpt from Progress of South Africa, in the Century Training in such a school has the advantage of making one very careful as to accuracy, but it has the disadvantage of preventing - or at least of not encouraging - a graceful style of writing. The first object is to state nothing but facts that can be proved, and the second to state them in plain language that cannot be misinterpreted. Ornamentation of sentences or paragraphs comes in nowhere. In this volume I have made some few remarks that would have been out of place in such an abstract as I have described above, but in general the book has been prepared exactly as it would be written for the head of the government to act upon, no matter what his political views might be. It contains the indisputable truths of South African history, and each individual is left to colour those truths to suit his own inclinations, whether in favour of English, Dutch, or Bantu. As far as human power goes, it is absolutely free of partisan spirit. As a Canadian of Loyalist descent, I naturally wish to see the extension and solidification of the Empire where that can take place without wrong or injustice to others, but I have not allowed that feeling to bias my work. Omitting numerous magazine articles, pamphlets, and school histories in the English and Dutch languages, the following list of books prepared by me will show the result of my labour in the past: - South Africa as it is. King-Williamstown, 1870. Now obsolete and out of print. Compendium of South African History and Geography. Two volumes. Lovedale Missionary Institution, third edition in 1877.

Excerpt from The Native Problem in South Africa The great native and labour problem has been troubling South Africa with more or less insistence since the days Of native slave under the Boer. The deprivation of the mei-ema service Of the nigger brought trouble Very early to the British Administration, and in fact may be deemed the beginning of that bad feeling between the two races which has continued since. Characteristically, the first Sign of the fatal breach between Briton and Boer was the direct result Of missionary interference in native treat ment; we say characteristically without reflection on the present missionary policy, but in the sense that the London Missionary Society of that period exercised the functions of the Aborigines' Protection Society Of today.

Excerpt from South Africa a Century Ago: Letters Written From the Cape of Good Hope (1797-1801) The sixteenth century saw the coming of the sailing-ship and the great voyages of discovery. The Catholic countries of Europe, Spain and Portugal, led the way; and in 1494 the "Pope's line" sought to divide between them the newly discovered regions. But such a division could not last. Other nations - England and Holland, then France - were determined to have their share of treasure and trade; and the failure of the Armada broke the naval power of Spain. By the eighteenth century the struggle for predominance at sea and in the new lands had narrowed down to the rivalry between England and France, the France which rose to preeminence and power under Louis XIV. By 1760 Britain was in control of India and North America; but the struggle between the two nations went on - with intervals for recovery - for over fifty years. The decision inevitably determined the fate of South Africa as well; for the Cape was on the main sea-route to the East, and must fall a prize to the strongest power at sea. Holland became involved in the conflict, when she followed France in supporting the American colonists, during the War of Independence. Britain was hard pressed then; and the result was a French garrison at the Cape from 1781 to 1783, in which year peace was declared between the new "United States" and Britain. It is well known that about this time the burghers of the Cape were by no means happy under the rule of the Dutch East India Company. Poverty and distress were rife; and there was trouble in the East between the more distant Dutch settlers and the Natives. It was the period of the French Revolution, and the men of Swellendam and Graaff-Reinet decided to have little republics of their own. Even in Cape Town there was a republican party: they called themselves "Patrioten" in imitation of the "Patriot" party in Holland.

Excerpt from The Story of South Africa: An Account of the Historical Transformation of the Dark Continent by the European Powers and the Culminating Contest Between Great Britain and the South African Republic in the Transvaal War In the case of Africa, centuries of time have been beating out the problem, the solution of which has now begun by the arbitra ment of battle. It were not surprising if the historical interest of the twentieth century should center in that continent which once had for its conspicuous actors the Egyptians and the Carthaginians, and which now has for its contestants the Briton on the one hand and the Boer on the other.

Excerpt from History of the War in South Africa: Containing an Authentic Account of the Great Struggle Between the British and the Boers The English Army and the Boers have met in the shock of battle in South Africa. All attempts to avert the desperate conflict have failed and the eyes of the whole world are turned to watch the progress of the fierce struggle. The first settlement of the Boers in South Africa - another name for Dutch inhabitants - dates from the sixteenth century. They have received accessions from the Huguenots of France, but retain the old Dutch character. After the final cession of the Cape of Good Hope to England in.i§14 they disliked the new Govern ment, especially its friendly policy to the natives and the emancipa tion of the slaves in 1833, the Boers having long been slaveholders. They moved northward and occupied the Orange Free State and the Transvaal. The Boers are the landholders and farmers of South Africa, famous for their courage and endurance, of strong and well developed physique, good horsemen and splendid marksmen. They have proved themselves to be terrible fighters on many occasions. Previous to 1870 the Boers had much trouble with the surrounding native tribes, which resulted in many sanguinary battles. Wars were of frequent occurrence and little progress was made in the development of the country. The selfish policy of the Boers caused constant irritation with England. In 1877, owing to an exhausted public treasury and accumulated debts brought about by conflicts with the Zulus and other tribes, the Transvaal, or South African Republic, was on the eve of dissolution and the country about to relapse into barbarism. To avert this catastrophe the British Government assumed the care of it, subjugated the rebel lious natives, and put the finances of the State in good condition.

Excerpt from The Africanders: A Century of Dutch-English Feud in South Africa In writing these pages I have not felt con scious of being in controversy with any one. If I had been susceptible to influences that create prejudice, nearly three centuries of American descent from purely Anglo - Saxon progenitors with no admixture of any other blood would have predisposed me to magnify everything in this long feud that exemplified the prowess and the honor of that race, and to minify in the telling whatever faults it had committed. It will be for such readers of my work as are conversant with the ultimate authorities on the subject treated of to judge how far I have succeeded or failed in presenting a plain, unvarnished tale.
