PREFACE
\
^My professional work has carried me to many places
in England, Scotland andand even, upon occasion, to
- Ireland, but never until recently invited me to visit
- any of our a professionalcolonies. In 1904, however,
engagement made it necessary for me to go to South
Africa, and would afford me ofthe opportunity that visit
are nowstudying some of the Colonial questions—which
the spot, was one of thereally Imperial questions^on
burden ofreasons which made me take upon me the
the business and tediousness of the voyage. While
ofin the Colonies I had exceptional opportunities^
of and of•^seeing a good deal of the life of some them,
^making myself acquainted with Colonial opinion.
There are at the present time many urgent political
problems presented to South Africa for practical solution,
and to any one who is interested in the great social and
State questions at home, these have an interest which is
to beyond that which attaches to the comparative anatomy
"of national organisms. In the human frame each^l
brothei'" according-^part calls the furthest, to George
.^?.8i64-^vi PKEFACE
Herbert, thisand so it is with the trunk and limbs of
great Empire. There is between these a "private
amity." We see that politicians at home are eager to
make capital out of the political attitude of our Colonies,
and perhaps that is the more easily accomplished if the
politicians are ignorant of the real aspect of current
Colonial events, and of the real trend of current Colonial
opinion. The chance of making myself acquainted with
these was eagerly accepted ; and the jottings—for they
are little more—that I made, mostly on the homeward-
bound ship, are printed in the following pages. I
kept my eyes and ears open. I was the recipient of
opinions and views, and after seeing what was to be
was said,seen, and hearing what to be I have attempted
to give my own opinion of all that I learned—if that
is not pompous a word—in the following miscellaneoustoo
pages.
