Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of South Africa, Vol. 1 Responsibility for the results and reason for their publica tion. With this idea before them a number of persons in various parts of South Africa have been working together for the last twelve months. Some have been able to contribute funds, and some their industry, while others have helped in both ways. AS time went on the number of those anxious to be associated with these studies increased; but no formal organisation has existed, though a list of subscriptions, limited to a moderate amount in each case, has been kept. Every possible facility has been afforded to the compilers of this book by the various governments in South Africa, and the civil servants, acting on their authority, have spared no pains to supply the necessary information. The authors take this oppor tunity of recognising an obligation too great and too general to admit of any particular acknowledgments. The various persons who have shared in producing these volumes are not drawn from any one political school or party; and they have been joined in the work only by a com mon aspiration that the people of South Africa may become one. The authors do not propose in these pages to formulate a definite scheme of union, but rather to provide infor mation which will enable the reader to discuss such schemes whenever advanced. Nor do they intend to commit those who have been associated with them to any particular view expressed in the book. Such views there are and indeed must be, seeing thatit is impossible to give a complete account of the problems of South African govern ment without touching on several contentious points. the object of the book is attained in so far as it provokes discussion.
