Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reconstruction of the New Colonies Under Lord Milner, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Vereeniging Agreement, 31st May 1902, to the Introduction of Chinese Labour, June 1904 While, therefore, the contemporary historian is hampered by the obligation of reticence in the discharge of his task, he may yet perform a useful, perhaps an indispensable, service. This much he can do. He can endeavour to make sure that when the time comes for the story to be told without reservation, nothing in the new material then available will be found inconsistent with anything that he has written himself. Some new facts, some fuller informa tion upon this and that episode there will be, and some gaps, perhaps scarcely noticeable, will be filled up; but his story in all its essential features should remain unaltered and unaffected. If this book lives, it will be for a future generation to say in what degree it has achieved this aim. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reconstruction of the New Colonies Under Lord Milner, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Vereeniging Agreement, 31st May 1902, to the Introduction of Chinese Labour, June 1904 The source of what is most original and valuable in the information contained in this work is the very complete collection of papers relating to the period 1902-5, which is in Lord Milner's possession. My primary and deepest obligation is, therefore, to him: first, for his confidence in permitting me to have access to these papers and to his private diaries; and secondly, for the unfailing kindness which he has shown to me - a kindness all the more remarkable in view of the many demands upon his time - during the six years that I have been engaged upon the preparation of these volumes. There is, of course, much that is of interest, both literary and historical, in the private correspondence that cannot be published now. Some of this material must rank as arcana imperii, which cannot be divulged without doing injury to the State; some of it, again, would, if published, deal needless wounds, or re-awaken contentions long forgotten. Indeed, it is impossible not to recognise that in the present age, when the obligation of reticence is so widely observed, the writing of the history of our own times - that is, of a frank, complete, and impartial statement of all the vital facts capable of proof - has become increasingly difficult. Fifty years hence the historian will be free to record the most confidential documents of to-day; and to this extent he will be better equipped than the contemporary writer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reconstruction of the New Colonies Under Lord Milner, Vol. 2 of 2 N ow, although, as we have seen, the opposition to Chinese labour was greater, and came from more various quarters, than he could have foreseen, yet such was Lord Milner's determination and energy that this forecast of a year ago was almost exactly fulfilled. And four months after the Chinese had begun to arrive we find him describing the changed situation brought about by the importation in terms which Show that the natural course of the Transvaal's development had, as a matter of fact, been resumed. The occasion of his speech was the Extraordinary Meeting of the inter-colonial Council convoked at Bloemfontein on 1sth November 1904; and, as the Council had been convened for the express Object of despatching railway business, no better passage could be found to exhibit the connection between Chinese labour and the general development of the new colonies. For of all the material agencies employed, Lord Milner relied most upon the improvement and exten sion of the railways; and it is to this subject that the attention of the reader will be mainly directed in the present chapter.

Book excerpt: Alfred, Lord Milner was a brilliant public servant and one of Britain's most celebrated – or notorious – empire-builders, who left an indelible imprint on the history of South Africa. Sent to southern Africa to bring President Paul Kruger's obstreperous Boers to heel, Milner was primarily, though not solely, responsible for the Anglo-Boer War (1899–1902), a conflict that marked the beginning of the end of the British Empire. In the aftermath of the war, a determined Milner set out to reconstruct the former Boer republics, but his policies stoked resentment among Afrikaners, particularly in respect of language and education. He left behind a coterie of young administrators, the so-called Kindergarten, who contributed significantly to the unification of South Africa and the fostering of imperial ideals through the Round Table Movement. In this biography, the first by a South African, Richard Steyn argues that Milner's reputation should not be defined by his eight years' service in South Africa alone. Despite his controversial stance on the issue of Irish Home Rule, Milner's legendary administrative ability made him the obvious choice for War Secretary in Lloyd George's five-man War Cabinet, and Milner did much to shape the Allied victory in the First World War. If his personal qualities and beliefs made him the wrong man to send to South Africa, where he failed to accomplish the over-ambitious goals he set himself, he was the right man in a far greater international conflict.
