Mendelssohn (Sidney) SOUTH AFRICAN BIBLIOGRAPHY volume 1 page 770: The volume commences with the '.' Manifesto " published by the Transvaal National Union on Thursday, December 26, 1895, which is signed by Charles Leonard, and addressed to the people of the Transvaal. There is a description of the effect of the publication in Johannesburg, where it was regarded as the prelude to immediate warfare, and the immediate result was the flight of many of the inhabitants, a number of the refugees being killed in a terrible railway accident at Glencoe. Chapter II. details the events connected with the Raid, including President Kruger's letter to the inhabitants of the Rand, and a report from certain delegates of the Orange Free State Volksraad respecting the political state of the Transvaal. There is a resume of the preliminary examination, and of the subsequent trial of the Reform Committee prisoners, and a short account of later occurrences in connection with the Raid, including the trial of Dr. Jameson and his officers in England on July 28th.
