In the original establishment of the government, the Dutch had promised that the Boers and Outlanders should have equal rights and priviliges. This promise of course has been utterly disregarded...
...Like its predecessors, the present volume has an apparatus of bibliography and introductory matter, a brief characterization of the writers, and a thorough index. The final volume of the series will be "Welding the Nation."

The extracts are rewritten in modern form...
