Dutch text.  (Mendelssohn II, p. 150; SABIB 3, p. 648)  "This account of the war was published in twenty-five parts, and it gives a review of the hostilities up to, and including, the battle of Magersfontein.  The author marshals his facts with considerable bitterness towards the British army and people." - Mendelssohn
