About the Book

Excerpt from The Transvaal Question: From a Swiss Point of View The independence of the Transvaal rests upon three Conventions successively made with England. The first, concluded in 1852, and called the Convention of Sand River, was granted to the farmers north of the Vaal, who, until then, had been English subjects, and of whom a good number, including President Kruger, had been born in Cape Colony. This gave them the right to govern themselves, according to their own laws and customs, on the condition that no alliance would be made with the natives against England, and that slavery should be entirely abolished. Two years later a similar Convention, arranged at Bloemfontein, created the Orange Republic, which is looked upon as a model state, having for a long time had the good fortune to be presided over by a very worthy man, Sir John Brand. The relations of the Orange Free State with England have, until now, been excellent and its peaceful existence has only been troubled by native wars, and a threatened attack by the Transvaal. Left to themselves, the Transvaal Boers would return to their former manner of life, that of semi-nomadic Shepherds, always seeking to enlarge their pastures at the expense of the natives, whom they believed they had the right to treat as the Israelites had used the Canaanites. During the twenty-five years preceding England's intervention in 1877, there is nothing to report but dissentions and intestine quarrels.
