Publisher's Synopsis
This book was written in 1901, while its author was a prisoner at Ahmednagar. It was written in Dutch. The author was the son of a clergyman in the Transvaal, and of old Afrikander stock on both sides. His book is the more valuable because of the absence of all literary pretensions, and it may be taken as truly representative of the Afrikander spirit, which has been so much misconceived in England.
