TAILIEUCHUNG - Sách A WINTER TOUR IN SOUTH AFRICA

The growth of the great Colonies of the British Empire is so phenomenal, and their development is so rapid, and remarkable, that if we are to possess a correct knowledge of their actual state, and condition, from year to year, their current history requires to be constantly re-written. The writer of a decade since, is, to-day, almost obsolete. He has only produced a current record of facts, and places, at the period he wrote. This is especially the case with South Africa.

I wish it to be understood that the opinions expressed on that occasion were my own and that the Institute as a body is in no way responsible for them. This Paper has formed the outline of the volume which with much new matter from my note book I now offer to the public in the belief that the narrative of a traveller simply seeking instruction as well as amusement from a few months tour while traversing some 12 000 miles by sea and 4 000 miles by land through the wonderful country in which he lately roamed might prove of some use in awakening additional interest on the part of the general public to one of the most
