"These poems, which first appeared in "The New Age," are published at the request and at the cost of readers of that Journal." from the Note.
Poets names were not printed, but are known to include C.Louis Leipoldt, Elizabeth Maria (Betty) Molteno, Alice Matilda Greene, Anna Purcell, Friedrich Carl Kolbe, and Albert Cartwright.
"The remarkable anthology [was published] probably mainly as a result of the endeavours of the poet, journalist and intellectual C Louis Leipoldt... It was banned in South Africa. Leipoldt's very first published poem, written in English, appeared in this work. The authors' names were omitted to protect them against prosecution and persecution by the anti-Boer imperialists. This slim volume powerfully confirmed the active purposeful collaboration... of various Boer supporters to hamper the British war effort. "
