Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Complete History of the South African War, in 1899-1902 In order to publish a work of this kind immediately on the termination of hostilities, it becomes inevitable that the course of events should be recorded chronologically rather than that any department of the campaign should be dealt with consecutively and finally by itself. This imperative method has the advantage of showing the daily development of events over the whole area of the war, while it has what may be considered the drawback of discursiveness from the introduction of innumerable facts and features of the struggle without any immediate connection with each other. When the effort is to present a history of facts as complete as possible for research, rather than a picturesque story of leading battles, this compilation of heterogeneous matter is unavoidable, even if classified under many headings. There is one set off to discursiveness. An exhaustive, sustained, and graphic description of a number of battles, one after the other, is a strain upon the feelings that is neither pleasant nor wholesome. In order to wade through and grasp the whole of the details with intelligence and composure, there must be the mental relief afforded by the admixture of diversified particulars. Many events have been stated in briefest form. To paint everything in strong colours and in mlnutiœ would give scope for fine writing and piquant reading, but the chronicle could not also be compressed into a cheap, single, popular volume for the million.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The South African War, 1899-1900: A Military Retrospect Up to the Relief of Ladysmith In submitting these pages to readers already, in many cases, as well informed as myself, I should explain that I did not at first intend to do so; rather, in collecting material for a monthly article on the War for my brother officers, I began to wish for an impartial account from a military point of view. Thanks to the kind assistance of the R.E. Institute with the maps and plans, I am now enabled to hope that what has afforded pleasure to me may become of some use to others. As some may think the criticisms in these pages are personal, and hardly become my comparative inexperience, I would say that, in accepting a command, one's own friends and teachers become public characters, and, rightly, the subjects of public criticism; also I venture to think that they would prefer criticism to come from the pen of a brother officer, earnestly seeking the truth, rather than from that of a literary or journalistic genius.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the War in South Africa: 1899-1900 Vasco da Gama, following him in 1497, gave to it its present auspicious title, which was to him of sound augury; for he then passed on to explore the East coast and to find the long-desired Indies. It was, however, the latter which constituted the Portuguese goal. Africa was to them primarily the half-way house, where to refresh their ships on the long voyage to Hindustan, which then took near a year to complete. For this purpose they established themselves on the island of Mozambique, and gradually took possession of the country to this day known as Portuguese East Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The war in South Africa has been no exception to the general rule that the origin of current events is to be sought in the history of the past, and their present course to be understood by an appreciation of existing conditions, which decisively control it. This is especially true of the matter here before us; because the southern extreme of Africa, like to that of the American continent, has heretofore lain far outside of the common interest, and therefore of the accurate knowledge, of mankind at large. The Cape of Good Hope and Cape Horn, in themselves remote, tempestuous, and comparatively unproductive regions, for centuries derived importance merely from the fact that by those ways alone the European world found access to the shores of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The application of steam to ocean navigation, and the opening of the Suez Canal, have greatly modified conditions, by diverting travel from the two Capes to the Canal and to the Straits of Magellan. It is only within a very few years that South Africa, thus diminished in consequence as a station upon a leading commercial highway, has received compensation by the discovery of great mineral wealth.
