Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections From the Writings of the Late E. B. Watermeyer: With a Brief Sketch of His Life The object of this volume, the Reader will at once perceive, is not to add another to the multitudinous class of memoirs, nor would it have been within the power of the Editor to collect and publish all that might have been worth recording of what the Author in the course of his life, so prematurely cut short, had written or spoken. The work must be judged of as an attempt to place within the reach of his numerous friends and his fellow-countrymen a consecutive collection of his chief published writings on Colonial History, researches upon which his heart had been set, which it had been his purpose to extend, and which, it is believed, there exists a general desire to have preserved. Only such selections could be made as appeared most interesting to the general reader, in order to make room for the poems which follow, since the volum had to be limited to such a size as alone made the publication practicable. Apart from the impracticability of reproducing all the Author's historical writings, literary reviews, forensic speeches and correspondence, within the circumscribed limits of such a volume as this, there would have been a further difficulty insuperable from the fact of the materials for it being wholly wanting. He was too real, too earnest a worker to have given himself to the task of preserving - to have taken up his time with keeping copies of - his manifold public writings, much less of his correspondence. While the former could have been extracted from the periodicals in which they appeared, the latter are not to be so traced. He was emphatically an extemporaneous speaker. The newspapers of the day reproduced in a more or less perfect form his speeches at the Bar and in Parliament, and subsequently his charges and judgments delivered from the Bench, but neither of these nor of his private correspondence had he preserved any copies or memoranda. Only a few of the poems have already been published; these being chiefly translation from the German, and also more or less free translation from Latin authors.

Download or read book History of South Africa since September 1795 written by and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1908 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George McCall Theal (1837-1919) was a prolific South African historian and civil servant. After working as a missionary between 1875-1880 he was appointed magistrate of Tamacha before taking a position as a clerk in the government and became Keeper of the Cape Colony Archives. He was appointed Colonial Historiographer in 1891. These volumes, first published in 1908, contain Theal's detailed history of South Africa between 1795-1894. Focusing on the political history of the country, Theal explores the British control of Cape Colony and the reactions of the Dutch setters to increasing British immigration, discussing the political consequences of the establishment of the various Boer Republics and the growth of Zulu power in South Africa. These volumes provide valuable details on the political history of South Africa, and reveal contemporary attitudes towards the history and ideas of colonisation. Volume 5 covers the colonies between 1854-1894.

Download or read book The History of Holland written by Mark T. Hooker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1999-08-30 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holland was once a superpower upon whose empire the sun never set. Today it is on the leading edge of social change. This history of Holland, from its earliest beginnings to the present day, provides the most up-to-date survey of modern Dutch history, including the current Dutch approach to a number of social issues, such as the welfare state, the environment, socialized medicine, and the role of the military in the post-Cold War world. Containing a wealth of current information and statistics, this work will help the reader to understand the Dutch both within the historical context in which Holland exists and as world leaders in social change as we approach the twenty-first century. This engagingly written history provides a contemporary overview of Holland's geography, economy, political system, and society. Chapters arranged chronologically trace the history and culture of the nation from the Ice Age to the new post-Cold War world. Chapters on recent Dutch history show how Holland has claimed a leading role in social change: the Dutch have authorized euthanasia, socialized medicine, and legalized soft drugs. A selection of brief biographical sketches will introduce the reader to many of the important Dutch personalities throughout Holland's history, and a bibliographical essay will help the researcher to locate recommended books and other materials for further reading.

Download or read book The Changing Past written by Ken Smith and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E.H. Carr said: "Before you study the history, study the historian." Written history often tells us more about the historian's own times than it does of the times about which he is writing. The historians and the way in which each generation has rewritten history in the light of its own preoccupations is the subject of The Changing Past. This is the first book-length survey in English that covers all the main trends in South African historiography. Starting with the first documents and histories, it goes on to trace the 19th century. British and settler "schools," Afrikaans historiography from its pre-academic 19th century phase to the present, and the liberal historians who struck out in a new direction from the 1920s. The book highlights the break with the past that historians of the "new radical school" have made in the last 15 years, and surveys the position of historical writing to the present. The canvas is delineated in bold strokes that sketch in the main outlines rather than seek an exhaustive treatment of all existing literature. This, together with a conscious effort to minimize theoretical discussion, makes it a highly readable text.
