Scarce \'Publisher\'s Uncorrected Proof\' copy, softcover, with a foreword by the aouthor dated Aug.10, 1967. Chapter 2 deals specifically with events leading up to the Boer War, and notes on Milner\'s outlook on the situation in South Africa, which he described as \"...the weakest link in the imperial chain...\" and \"there must be one flag, the Union Jack, but under it equality of races and languages... as for the Boer himself, provided I am once sure of having broken his political dominance, I should be for leaving him the greatest amount of individual freedom. First beaten, then fairly treated, and not too much worried on his own \'plaats\' in his own conservative habits, I think he will be peaceful enough.\" Chapters as well on the Draft Constitution, the Round Table Movement and its failure, the Selborne Memorandum, and Milner\'s Retirement. Plain brown publisher\'s wrappers with cover title written by hand, in good condition (spine worn), with bibliography and index, total 234pp.
