Reitz, quoted in the preface. The book was issued as the official exposition of the case of the Boer against the Briton. Also issued in Afrikaans /  Dutch as EEN EEUW VAN ONRECHT.

Reitz was Secretary of State of the South African Republic at the time of publication. It later emerged that Jan Smuts was the author of this work.
