Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Transvaal Trouble: How It Arose, Being an Extract From the Biography of the Late Sir Bartle Frere After thirty-three years Of highly distinguished service in India he returned to England and was made a Member of the Council of India. In 1872 - 3 he conducted a mission to the East Coast of Africa for the purpose of suppressing the Slave-trade. In 1876 he accompanied the Prince of Wales to India. For his various services he was made a Baronet and a Privy Councillor. Shortly after his return he was appointed by Lord Carnarvon High Commissioner of South Africa and Governor of the Cape. In view of the painfully intense interest which at the present moment centres in South Africa and the Transvaal, and of the absence of any other detailed account of the events which took place there during his stay, it is believed that a reprint of so much of his Life and letters as relate to South Africa, will have its value as a contribution to a just knowledge of the facts. NO apology, therefore, is made for the truncated form in which it is issued. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Transvaal Crisis I Am offering this reprint of the real grievances of the Uitlanders to the public because, though the grievances remain substantially the same as they were eighteen months ago, the public interest in them has enormously increased, and I find that very many people who did not care to read an article on them in February 1898 are now extremely anxious to study the question and find out 'what it is all about.' For those who have not carefully considered the subject it may be useful to bear the following facts in mind. The portion of South Africa comprised in the British sphere of influence - that is to say, the territory in which England would not tolerate the interference of any foreign Power, and would fight to the death before any such interference could take place - is divided into five great provinces: 1. Natal. 2. The Transvaal. 3. The Orange Free State. 4. The Cape Colony. 5. Rhodesia. These five divisions comprise within their boundaries 1,159,237 square miles, or an area equal to the total extent of France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Austria, and Hungary, and this vast territory has at present an extremely scanty population.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Transvaal Dear sir, - After a stay of almost five years in the Transvaal, I should like to give you a few notes on the state of affairs there. For several reasons. Everyone knows that you, the man in the street, are a very busy person. You have your own way to make in the world, and in these overcrowded islands it is often a painfully difficult way. How, then, can you be expected to find time to acquire much knowledge of affairs of state in a land six thousand miles away, where conditions are so completely different from those you are accustomed to, as to be almost beyond your imagination Yet for us in that land comes in this bitter touch of irony. Our fate depends largely on you, the man in the street, who do not know our surroundings, or our conditions of life, or, in fact, anything about us. It was you by your vote at the last election who handed us back to the rule of the Dutch. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kaleidoscopic Transvaal This book is not an attempt to write history. It makes no pretension to minute photographic exactness, but should be looked upon rather: as an impressionist sketch, giving the broad sweep of hill and valley, light and shade, as the observer sees them, without details of foliage or flower. Still less is it an autobiography, though it consists largely of reminiscences, interspersed with camp-fire stories and old half-forgotten tales and though it will be necessary to give a brief sketch of my life in the Transvaal, as a justification for this attempt to write on a subject bristling with problems, the complexity of which would tax a far abler pen than mine.

The temptation to deal with some of the many matters I have seen mishandled by other authors has been very great but I have resisted it, rigorously confining my records or criticisms to matters with which I have been in immediate personal contact. I have been most careful, in collecting any evidence I may have used, to distinguish between hearsay and direct know ledge, and I have introduced no matter of which I cannot speak with absolute authority.

At pre sent, too, there is a certain danger that we may lose sight Of the undoubted good qualities Of the typical Boer on the one hand, or minimise his numerous faults and anfractuosities on the other, according as our political prepossessions incline us to his side or to that Of the Outlanders.

Download or read book Transvaal Department of Agriculture written by Illtyd Buller Pole Evans and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transvaal Department of Agriculture: Bitter-Pit of the Apple In February, 1906, my attention was drawn by Mr. C. P. Lounsbury, the Government Entomologist, Cape Colony, to a peculiar spotting in Cape apples. The trouble was known locally simply by the name of "bitter-pit," and as it is now so commonly recognised under this name I do not propose in this report to substitute any other, although there are certain objections to the term here employed. In the following month, Mr. Lounsbury conducted me over the orchards of the Cape Orchard Company at Hex River, where the spotting was very evident both on the fruit on the trees and also on the apples which were in cold storage. The prevalent theory in vogue regarding the trouble at the time was that it was due to a mechanical injury brought about by blown sand. A number of varieties of affected apples were then collected for microscopic examination, and as the disease was one of such general importance, arrangements were made with the Cape Department of Agriculture that I should devote as much time as I could spare to an investigation of this trouble. The Cape Orchard Company also very kindly undertook to place the necessary facilities, in the shape of conducting experiments at their orchards, at my disposal. An exhaustive histological and bacteriological examination of these spots was first carried out, but neither revealed any evidence of fungi or bacteria. In the histological part of the enquiry, however, a great abundance of starch in the diseased areas at once suggested that the action of diastase must be inhibited in some way or other, and that possibly some chemical constituent might be lacking which was necessary for the complete conversion of the starch into sugar. At this stage, Mr. Herbert Ingle, late Chief Chemist to this Department, became much interested in the problem, and kindly offered to assist me in the investigation by making analyses of soil, healthy and diseased apples, etc. It was then arranged that we should publish a joint report on this subject, but, unfortunately, owing to unforeseen circumstances, Mr. Ingle left South Africa before he was in a position to publish his results, and it has therefore been deemed advisable in the interests of the fruit-growing community to delay no longer the present conclusions, which are merely put forward with a view to suggesting certain lines upon which apple growers in this country should work in order to minimise their losses through this trouble.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transvaal Problems: Some Notes on Current Politics A line of coaches to Kimberley had been started, and by that means a dozen inside passengers, packed like sardines in a tin, not to mention outside passengers and piles of luggage, accomplished the journey in a week, travelling night and day. When I arrived, the service had broken down, and so I went by mule waggon. It happened that the late General (then Colonel) Glyn, with his regiment, the 24th, in which General Carrington was a subaltern, was ordered to the Diamond Fields at that time to quell the rebellion, the most sanguinary feature in connection with which consisted in the raising of the black flag. It will be remembered that Alfred Aylward, the Fenian, was prominent in that affair. We arrived one night and camped outside De Beers, expecting on the morrow to see an attack upon the town, instead of which a luncheon was given on the market square, and all was well.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Story of the Transvaal, From the "Great Trek" To the Convention of London: With Appendix Comprising Ministerial Declarations of Policy and Official Documents IN presenting a history of the Transvaal, and of our connection with it, I have to apologize for many shortcomings. The work has been compiled under considerable difficulties. The bulk Of it was written in a small up-country town, at a distance from all Official sources of information, and in the intervals of professional duties. It has been delayed by the loss at Port Elizabeth of nearly all the material I had collected, and by the difficulty of procuring correct and trustworthy accounts of the facts narrated. It has no pretension to any graces of style, and it does not aim at being more than a convenient book of reference. If it enables the readers to mete out blame where blame is due, and to accord praise where praise is merited, the object of the work will be effected. It has been objected by a friendly critic that I have been unduly severe in criticizing the military opera tions in the Transvaal. I regret as much as my critic that it has been necessary to be severe. It has been a most painful task to me to have to point out the deficiencies of our soldiers. But the truth must be told, and, painful though it may have been, I have felt it my duty not to blink facts even though they might be unpleasant. We are accustomed to take it forx iii I'm/are.
