Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from With the Boers in the Transvaal and Orange Free State in 1880 1: With a Map of the South African Republic and Text of the Convention of 1884
In the whole history of the world there have been known only two svstems of colonizing a new country, the inhabitants of which were totally uncivilized, viz. - quick and ruthless extermination, and a constant war of the one against the other, as always practised by the Dutch South Africans and in America; or the slower and more difficult method of amal gamation and protection. Which of the two systems - for both have been tried - has succeeded best out here, every one understanding the occurrences of the last half-century will be able to judge. So far as the Boers and those natives more immediately in and around the Transvaal are concerned, I hope, in the course of this work, to clearly show the course of events up to new, and the probable outcome in the not far-distant future.
