'A description of the state of affairs in Johannesburg and the Transvaal, at the time of the outbreak of the war, and subsequent to the dates on which the independent Johannesburg press - The Star and The Leader - ceased publication. Many incidents are related showing the behaviour of the Boers to the Uitlanders who were leaving the country, and Mr. Reitz's manifesto is given in full.

There is some information as to the influx of refugees to Delagoa Bay, and their subsequent removal to British ports. The author asserts that he has spared no pains in order to authenticate those statements made in the pamphlet, as to facts which did not come within his personal knowledge and experience.' - Mendelssohn Vol.I, page 577
