Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From South Africa But at this season of the year it is probable that there has been a good deal of rain. The water is standing in pools and natural depressions, and the hues of the sunrise reflected in it give a colour to the whole scene which is indescribable. The air is keen, but so extraordinarily invigorating that you gladly throw down the windows of the carriage and let it play upon you without fear Of cold. A sense of lightness which calls back childish dreams of flight possesses the body. The idea of reaching the distant ranges by a direct progress from peak to peak has not the patent impossibility that it would wear in Piccadilly.

Book Synopsis South Africa a Century Ago by : Anne Barnard

Book excerpt: 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.

It is fortunate for Liberalism that men like Lord Rosebery, Mr. Asquith, Sir Edward Grey, Mr. Haldane, and others who act with them, belong to the Party; for were it not for these, who are styled Liberal Imperialists, it is certain that the breach between the Party and the Colonials would be irreparable, and the return of the Party to office would be the signal for the disruption of the Empire.

My publisher, however, tells me I am not to touch it up, and I may say that what it lacks in grammar it makes up in truth. I put down things as they were and endeavoured not to say how I thought they ought to have been; there has already been far too much irresponsible lay criticism of matters military and medical in South Africa.

By 4 am. The mounted rifles led the way out of camp, and the toilsome march over rough and rocky ground com menced. The country was terribly rough as we drove the transports up and over the Orange River, and rougher still in the low kopjes on the other Side. The heat was simply blistering, but the Australians did not seem to mind it to any great extent; they were simply feverish to get on to the front, but they had to hang back and guard the transports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dutch Republics of South Africa: Three Letters to R. N. Fowler, Esq., M. P., And Charles Buxton, Esq., M. P South Africa in their selfish or inhuman treatment of the Aborigines. But, to the honour of the British Government, its influence in the collisions which so often take place between colonists and natives is generally exercised on the side of justice and mercy. It has more than once prevented the extermination of the Maories, and the wholesale confiscation of their lands; and to it is due the non-recurrence, for a period of fifteen years, of a Kaffir war - that gulf into which Chancellors of the Ex chequer Once periodically cast their surplus. As the hands of the Imperial Government are now tolerably clean, there is no inconsistency in appealing to them against the misdeeds of the Boers of South Africa. It may be alleged that this is a proposed interference with the internal government Of an independent state. It is true that the Dutch Republics of South Africa have enjoyed a separate existence for many years past. In the interval they have been as much masters of their own affairs as if the English had disappeared from the Cape; but it is not the less a fact, that their indepen dence is based upon treaties which impose upon them (as well as upon us) certain well-defined obligations. As these obligations are just and reasonable - as indeed the non-observance of them involves, as a consequence, the subversion of public morality the lapse of sixteen or Of sixty years cannot lessen their force, or diminish the weight of the responsibility they entail. England may fairly consider the expediency of enforcing the treaty which has been broken; but of her moral right to enforce it there cannot be the shadow of a doubt.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Subaltern's Letters to His Wife The first thing is to pronounce veldt properly; not with the slatternly English vsound, but with the crisp German fow, or its parallel the English fso that it recalls the stuff that hats are made of. A gifted war-correspondent once wrote, at Bloemfontein, a long article in the Friend newspaper on The Inexpressible Veldt. I thought at the time, after a ciu: - sory consideration both of the internal euid external evidence afforded by the length of the said article and the general physical features of South Africa, that the writer ought to have headed his screed The Expressionless Veldt A thing about which a correspondent, busied with other matters, uid feeling the eflFects of the heat, can dash o Pfour columns between sunset euid simrise, is hardly to be termed inexpressible. And yet one could S3rmpathise with that author; there is a fine flavour of the ox3nmoron about his title which whets the literary appetite, as though a man should say: This is not for mortals to express, and lo !here are four columns.
