Farrelly was Barrister at Law and Advocate of the Supreme Court of Cape Colony. Mendelssohn l:535. The author \'was of opinion that the issue between British or Dutch supremacy meant life or death to the Empire, and he refers to the vacillation displayed by the Home Government for nearly 100 years (1800-1900) and to the effect it has had on the Boers and their aims. The policy of the Afrikander Bond is discussed, more especially as to the denial by its leaders that there was any design to oust British influence, but the author maintained that the Afrikanders were taught to \'eliminate all that is British\' out of which was evolved the resolve to \'drive the British into the sea.\' .... Dr Farrelly was appointed Advisory Counsel to the Transvaal Republic, and issued several memoranda to the Free State and Transvaal Volksraads. .... The author advocates absolute and permanent annexation, conciliation of Dutch sentiment, promotion of federation, and the establishment of English as the official language after the war\'
