Excerpt from South Africa of to-Day Transvaal, the rise of the Chartered Company, and the Matabele campaign. But on all essential points in the political situation, and even the geography, I was as ignorant as South Africans would be of the Indian frontier. I had only this advantage, that for the last ten years almost my sole occupation in life had been travelling in little known countries and reporting what I saw and heard there. SO as soon as I had put the last remaining touches on my book of travels then about to be published, I eagerly read up the works on South African history and travel which I had brought on board for the purpose of forming in my mind a groundwork on which to build. On my arrival in Cape Town, in the beginning of December, I found the Situation in the Transvaal was fast reaching a crisis. Mr. Lionel Phillips, the President of the Chamber of Mines at Johannes burg, had but recently made a speech in which he detailed the disabilities under which the huge gold mining industry laboured, and hinted in strong terms that, were concessions of some sort not granted by the Boer Government, the Uitlanders (or foreign residents) might be compelled to resort to force to gain their ends and everywhere people were saying that trouble was pending.

Excerpt from Every-Day Life in South Africa End me another letter soon, wrote a friend to me. Your last was so interesting; it tells so many things one cannot find in books. This first suggested to me the idea of writing about those little things which travellers generally either do not notice or do not think it worth while to describe and yet, if we want to make a new place our home, it is just those that we would like to know about, for the little every-day items have much more influence on our comfort and happiness than have the great things of the world. Names of persons, where mentioned, are of course fictitious, but everything else is truthfully stated. Where information has been received from others, it has always been from those on whose veracity dependence could be placed.

Excerpt from A History of South Africa German south-west Africa is to-day the South Western Protectorate, brought under the British flag by South African troops led by General Botha. In German East Africa General Smuts has achieved great success at the head of troops drawn from England, India, and South Africa.

Excerpt from The Zulu Yesterday and to-Day Twenty-Nine Years in South Africa Now, in a charmingly simple way, she tells the story of these years of victory in that far - off field. Others have written entertainingly of the history of Africa; we have many books descriptive of the scenery and the various points of interest of that vast continent. Miss Hance gives us something of these things, but she gives us more. Her great pur pose, whether consciously or not, -does not so much matter, is to reveal to us. The heart-life of the people of Africa; to show us what a strong, earnest, sincere man the African is, even before the light of Chris tianity shines across his pathway, and to help us to know of what he is capable-when his life has been touched by that revivifying power. In doing this she proves herself to be more than a missionary; she is to the people with whom she comes in contact a true, warm-hearted friend, always seeking to help, to cheer and to guide out into better things. In drawing back the curtain revealing to us the inner life of the African, the author shows us how very little there is in his nature which enables him to grasp the thought that he is a part of God's great world, which He loves and for which He cares; indeed, how almost incomprehensible to him is the idea of a Supreme Being at all, and how difficult it is to bring him to a knowledge of this great truth; but she also shows us that once the African does grasp the fact of God, as made manifest in the person of His Son, and the purpose of His plan for all the world, as disclosed in the Sacred Book, he.

Excerpt from South Africa to-Day: With an Account of Modern Rhodesia Then from the way men who had been through the war talked about the veld, we received the impression that it was monotonous, acrid, dull. Yet I can bear witness that the veld is not half so monotonous as the Canadian prairie or the Russian steppes, not a quarter so arid as the alkali plains of Arizona or the salt lands of Utah, not nearly so dull as the landscape of large regions of Central Europe. There is a distinctive beauty of steppe and of prairie even. There is a quiet charm about the plains of Germany and France. I am not merely saying that the typical landscape of South Africa is not hideous, as if I should say it was better than our own Black Country. I am com paring it with landscapes which I have heard enthusiasts rave over. The first sight of Table Mountain from the sea on a clear morning is something to remember all one's life - a moment of Sheer ecstasy. I had no idea What to expect when I ran up in my dressing-gown about six o'clock. It was rather shivery. The sun had just drawn a fiery finger along the jagged line of rocky summits. The sea was rippling in wavelets of a cold purple. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
