1896PREFACE
past events throw a good deal of light onAs
the present position in the Transvaal Republic,
I have endeavoured to detach the thread of
Anglo-Dutch relations from the tangled skein
African history,of South and to give a plain
account of the policy of the English towards
the Dutch from the beginning. Most of the
facts connected with the earlier part of the
story are given on the authority of Mr.
George M'Coll Theal, whose personal know-
ledge of South Africa and its various peoples,
and careful study of the Cape archives, has
enabled him to compile an inexhaustible mass
of valuable information in the five monumental
volumes of his History,
H. W.
April 20y 1896.
