Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Dr. Jameson's Raiders Vs: The Johannesburg Reformers
The Reform Committee of Johannesburg was organ ized with the Object of Obtaining certain reforms for abuses which had grown so serious that the position Of the Uitlanders in the Transvaal had become unbearable. There is an objection which is instantly raised whenever the condition of the Uitlanders is described as I have just stated it, and it is this: If the Uitlanders did not like the laws of the Transvaal why did they not leave it and go elsewhere; the world is large enough for everybody? Why did-they instead plot to upset the Government Of the Boers who had sheltered them, and who only asked to be left to breed their cattle and to farm their ranches in peace? The answer to this very fair question is that the laws to which the Reform Committee objected did not exist when the majority of its members had entered the Transvaal eight years before.
