OUR PLACE IN HISTORY. A comparative history of South Africa in relation to other countries.

This book is dedicated by special permission, to the honourable J. C. SMUTS, Colonial Secretary of the Transvaal, whose kindly appreciation of the earlier chapters, some years ago, has encouraged the author to complete his task, and whose efforts in the cause of education have gained him the loyal attachment of the teaching profession.
