Excerpt from The Gold Regions of South Eastern Africa The region described in the following pages was, until the last few years, when the explorations of Herr Much, Erskine, Elton, Chapman, and others somewhat dispersed the cloud of mystery in which it was enveloped, essentially a mythical one. Its geographical features were generally depicted in the manner described by Swift - "So Geographers in Afric Maps With savage pictures fill their gape, And o'er uninhabitable downs Place elephants instead of towns." The name of Monomotapa (which means a place from which something valuable is derived), is seldom used except as a mediaeval geographical term, found in old school geographies and obsolete atlases. It was supposed by its Arab and Portuguese discoverers and conquerors to include all the regions south of the Zambesi, extending to the country of the Kafirs (Pays de Caffres) or even to the banks of the Orange River, the Vigita Magna of the old geographers, and the large towns supposed to exist in this region (shaken over the old Maps as if from a pepper castor) are frequently alluded to in the early records of the Cape Colony. We learn from these records, however, that several exploring parties were sent in search of rich countries during the latter half of the seventeenth century, but none of them succeeded in penetrating so far into the interior. The Seaboard or Coast Region was known under the name it still bears, that of "Sofala," which signifies in Arabic a plain or low country.

Excerpt from Golden South Africa, or the Gold Fields Revisited: Being Further Glimpses of the Gold Fields of South Africa The following pages will bear testimony that so far from my supposing that the Gold Fields of South Africa will dis appoint the expectations formed of them by the shrewder section of an ever-growing circle of investors, and by those who are looking to them to give the world a substantial in crease of the precious metal, I am of those who behave that auriferous South Africa is but yet in the infancy Of its modern development. For the Gold Fields of South Africa are no discovery of to-day; they were worked many centuries before there was a literature to record their richness. It is generally agreed that Ophir, whence Solomon is said to have drawn gold to the modern value of was situated in south-eastern Africa, and as I am of opinion that there is as good gold in this part of the world as was ever taken out of it, some references to the past in these regions may prove useful before proceeding to consider their present and future. It does not come within the Scope of the present work to fully trace the history of gold in Africa, north or south the book but professes to throw some light on the Gold Fields which have drawn the population and attracted the capital I have mentioned. But as, in my notes of A Trip to Moodie's, in 1884, I made a slight attempt at a retrospect which musk. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Story of My Mission Among the British Settlers in South Eastern Africa From the large list of applicants, the authorities of the Colonial Oflice made a selection, and ultimately a population of about four thousand were conveyed, in twenty-six vessels, to Algoa Bay. The general arrange ment adopted by the Government was to send the settlers in parties of ten, twenty, fifty, or one hundred families, each party being under a head, or representa tive, who transacted its business with the Government both in England and the Colony; and the people com prising these several parties were located in distinct settlements.

Excerpt from Diamonds and Gold in South Africa Some of the following pages have already appeared in print. The section on the diamond fields, originally written for the Official Handbook of the Cape of Good Hope, ' was issued in pamphlet form at the time of the Kimberley Exhibition of 1892, on which occasion also the paper on the gold fields was delivered as a lecture. It is now published for the first time, and the whole work has been carefully revised and brought up to date, besides being considerably enlarged by the addition of the latest statistics bearing on the two industries, and by a number of articles on points of special interest, which will be found in the Appendix. I take this opportunity of acknow ledging my indebtedness, not only to the gentlemen whose names are affixed to these articles, but also to the managers and secretaries of Companies who have freely placed much valuable information at my disposal; to many old colonists for useful comments and criticism; and, especially, to Mr. John Noble, of Capetown, for a large amount of generous assistance and encouragement. For the rest, I have drawn up a list of the principal authors consulted, to which must be added a whole library of blue-books, and companies' reports, and files of colonial newspapers, too numerous to specify. Though the materials are at hand for doing justice to the subject, yet, in spite of the number of works that have been written on South Africa, it cannot be said that the diamond and gold fields, which form the backbone of the country, have received that attention at the hands of either scientific or imaginative writers which they deserve.
