First edition: 85 pages, rebound in half brown leather with matching faux leather boards, red title label gilt on the spine, a very good copy.

Published immediately following the Anglo-Zulu War and on the eve of the First Boer War, Froude's lectures outline his first-hand observations of political tension in the Cape and the republics. Having served as Lord Carnarvon’s personal representative to the region, Froude provides a remarkably candid assessment of the failures of the confederation scheme and defends the independence sentiments of the Boer republics.
