Register

607 pages, frontispiece, numerous illustrations, folding colour map at the end and 6 other maps, orange cloth gilt, with embossed coat of arms of the Transvaal Republic on upper cover,  a very good copy.

Author's preface.'After resigning membership of the British House of Commons in October, 1899, as a personal and political protest against a war which I believed to be the greatest infamy of the nineteenth century, I proceeded, a short time afterwards, to the Transvaal to see and learn more about the little nation against whose liberty and land this crime had been planned and executed. This book embodies the facts and information which I obtained in my intercourse with the leaders and people of both Republics. It also contains the impressions which followed from a few months' close contact with them during their unparalleled struggle to retain their independence.
