Book excerpt: Excerpt from Impressions of South Africa This new edition has been carefully revised through out, and, as far as possible, brought up to date by noting, in their proper places, the chief events Of importance that have occurred since the book first appeared. In the historical chapters, however, and in those which deal with recent politics, no changes have been made save such as were needed for the correction Of one or two slight errors Of fact, and for the mention of new facts, later in date than the first edition. I have left the statements of my own views exactly as they were first written, even where I thought that the form Of a statement might be verbally improved, not only because I still adhere to those views, but also because I desire it to be clearly understood that they were formed and expressed before the events Of the last few months, and without any reference to the controversies Of the moment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Impressions, Being a Record in Colour When my Father, home from the War, was showing to me the sketches he had made in South Africa, he told some interesting incident about almost every one of them; and it occurred to me that he was inad vertently providing material for a book. This volume is the result. I endeavoured to write down all he said; and I trust that what I have written is at least a faithfill record.

In the intervening six months, I had seen and con versed with many representatives of the various sections of political and social life in South Africa - civil, military, official, administrative, commercial, financial, and missionary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thoughts on South Africa But certain parts of this book have appeared in periodicals and have caused, no doubt owing to the frag mentary nature of their publication, some misconceptions which it might be worth while setting right. It has been stated by some kindly critic that the subject of this little book was a valuable history of South Africa, while another has suggested my calling it The History of the Boer. Nothing has been farther from my thought than the writing of any history. In a far different manner I Should have equipped myself had it been my intention to do so. Dr. Ea in his has collected as carefully and dealt as ably with the mere historical inci dents of the last two hundred years as it is possible for any one person, in the course of one life, and from one point of view, to do. Still less, as has been suggested, was it my intention to write a homily on South African problems and people. This little book is something far less pretentious, and wholly different. Born in South Africa, I felt from my childhood a wish to set down what I thought and felt about my native land. After I was grown Up, but in my youth, I went to Europe for ten years, living in London but visiting the Continent continually.

Download or read book With the Guns in South Africa Classic Reprint written by E. W. B. Morrison and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from With the Guns in South Africa The writer's apology or excuse for publishing this book is that many people asked that it be done. The letters which form the chapters were written home from the front and published in the columns of the Ottawa Citizen and Hamilton Spectator. They were written during the not abundant leisure of an artillery subaltern in the field with the mounted forces that went out as Canada's second contingent to South Africa. After I came home people were good enough to say they would like to have these letters in book form so as to preserve them. A number of newspapers also supplemented the suggestion. The fact that some Of my dearest journal istic foes were among those that lured me on to make a book did not immediately arouse my suspicions. They may have meant well. Anyway, here is the book. In these letters I endeavored to give a pen and ink panorama of the war as I saw it - to show my friends at home the war through my eyes. When it is remembered that the letters were written Often under heavy pressure, good natured people will excuse their imperfections. On the other hand, possibly, the fact that they contain rough and ready impressions Of soldier life by one living the life may have also caused these impressions to con tain more local color than might otherwise have been the case. If occasionally they are too redolent of the smoke of goat dung fires, dead horses, iodoform and stale blood, please remember this. War is not a parlor game. As Huck Finn said about the Pilgrim's Progress, you may find some of the statements interestin', but tough. Well, war is both. One merit only I claim: I have tried to make the picture true to life.
