Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches and Studies in South Africa Some whose judgment I value are of opinion that the following "Sketches and Studies" may be of general interest. If so, it will be chiefly because the views and opinions expressed in them have been formed, not by reading books - although I have read everything on the subject which has come in my way for many years - but because I have had opportunities of conversing freely with men who know, on all sides of the questions involved. South Africa is, for many reasons, one of the most interesting parts of the Empire; and it has before it - one cannot doubt - a great future. It affords examples of some of our gravest mistakes and gives us, therefore, lessons for the time to come. It is encouraging, as being the theatre of some of the most energetic efforts of Engishmen. I am unable to recount any striking or sensational journeys in waggous, or any hair-breadth escapes in pursuit of 'big game"; but to many it may be interesting to realise what rapid strides civilisation has made in a land scarcely known until recent years, and what a wealth of interest and beauty belongs to a region still - as a part of the Empire - young.

This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Natural History of South Africa, Vol. 1 IN the presenting of these volumes on the birds of South Africa, it has been my endeavour to create in the minds of my readers a love and a keen appreciation of our beautiful and useful allies. From my earliest youth I have made an intimate study of the creatures of mountain, veld, forest, and stream in their native haunts. The results of some of these studies have already been published in book form in the Natural History of South Africa and Snakes of South Africa. My intention was to have published these volumes at an earlier date, but, owing to unforeseen circumstances, their publication has been held over. The results of several years of research and study of the birds of South Africa were recorded in a number of diaries. These records were lent to a naturalist friend with permission to take notes from them. Alas! He lost them all. It was a sad loss to me, resulting in further years of investigation.

Download or read book South Africa Vol 6 written by A. Wyatt Tilby and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-08 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from South Africa, Vol. 6: 1486-1913 The present volume brings to a close the first part of this history of the English People Overseas. It is my intention, or at least my hope, that at some future date I may be able to justify more completely the title of this work by adding, to these already issued, other volumes recording the growth of the English people in the United States - still the greatest of all English colonies - in Canada from 1867 to the present day, and in India since 1828, the period at which the second volume of this book concludes. The fulfilment of so considerable an undertaking must inevitably occupy several years, but I cannot help thinking that it will be worth while to have a complete record in one easily accessible work of the activities of the English people in all parts of the world, (I may say in parenthesis, and in answer to certain critical inquiries from Scotland, that I have used the term English throughout, not from any desire to disparage our masters north of the Twood, but as indicating English-speaking - a habit to which the best of Scots must plead guilty. The term English may in this sense be applied to the United States, whereas British would be entirely out of place; nor am I conscious of having done any injustice to Scottish enterprise within the limits of the British Empire, or anywhere outside the title of this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Trip to South Africa IN the following pages Mr. Salter-whiter has described his recent visit to the Cape in a manner that cannot but be of value. Starting from his own home he describes each incident of the journey, and points out the evils to be avoided and the advantages to be secured. He sees clearly the dangers of the coast land at the Cape and the remarkable virtue of the Karoo district. He shews the value of sunshine, dry air, and elevation in securing arrest, even in cases of advanced disease, and in Chapter XV., on Health, ' he sketches out a route likely to be of essential service to many. The course pursued must vary in different cases, but the advantages of beginning with Wynberg, then going to Ceres, Matjesfontein, and Bloemfontein are clearly exhibited.

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 Drawn from the Classics written by Stephen E. Tabachnick and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The graphic novel is the most exciting literary format to emerge in the past thirty years. Among its more inspired uses has been the superlative adaptation of literary classics. Unlike the comic book abridgments aimed at young readers of an earlier era, today's graphic novel adaptations are created for an adult audience, and capture the subtleties of sophisticated written works. This first ever collection of essays focusing on graphic novel adaptations of various literary classics demonstrates how graphic narrative offers new ways of understanding the classics, including the works of Homer, Poe, Flaubert, Conrad and Kafka, among many others.

This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pleasure and Problem in South Africa The political articles stand, of course, on a different footing. Here the bias of the writer is certain to show itself, and it is not claimed for the political views herein expressed that they are free from partiality. The man who, after the last ten or fifteen years of passionate controversy, carries with him to South Afi'ica a perfectly open mind is a ram avis indeed. What is essential is that there should be no intrusion on the part of the visitor from Home into those departments of colonial affairs that do not concern him. It is trusted that in the whole of the following narrative nothing has been said that can by any possibility wound the just susceptibilities of our fellow-subjects, whether British or Dutch, in South Africa. Where a controversial attitude is assumed it will be found that the writer's opinion is backed by South African opinion of the highest respectability.
