Excerpt from The Official Correspondence Between the Governments of Great Britain, the South African Republic, and the Orange Free State Which Preceded the War in South Africa The despatches, which are here collected, are to be found scattered up and down some half a dozen Blue Books, occasion ally sandwiched between newspaper articles and reports of meetings, in a manner which makes them practically inaccessible to ordinary readers, and indeed it is doubtful whether, outside of official circles, any considerable number of people have been able to form any clear idea of the course of the negotiations, or of the demands and con cessions made respectively by the contending Governments. Many of the despatches were not sent when dated, being retained pending further communications. It has, therefore, not been possible to present them in strict chronological order, but they will be found in the natural sequence of the subjects to which they relate. Neither has it been possible, within the. Compass of this pamphlet, to publish every document which passed between the British and Transvaal Governments, but I have selected all those dealing with important points in the controversy. The Free State correspond ence, being telegraphic, is here included in full. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
