Excerpt from The Anglo-Boer Conflict: Its History and Causes

There is no lack of excellent books relating to South Africa, and the present volume is not intended for those who have the leisure and the inclination to gain their knowledge of the causes of the Anglo-Boer conflict by reading some score of bulky works written by historians and travellers.

My object is to provide a brief and accurate account of the events which have led up to the war, for the use of those who, whilst feeling an interest in the situation, are unable to go over all the ground covered by the many writers on the subject and by the very extensive official documents of the case.

During the past twelve years I have spent most of my time in the British Colonies, and during that period I have devoted myself to the study of British Colonisation in its historical, political, and economic aspects.
