Through South Africa With the British Association (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Through South Africa With the British Association During the course of the trip described in these pages I kept a fragmentary diary of the chief events as they occurred. I also wrote letters home, descriptive of those details of the journey which I thought would interest my family. On my return it was suggested that I should combine the diary and the letters into a more complete story of what had been a most interesting and unique trip. This I have attempted to do in the following pages. At intervals I have added certain re ections that were impressed upon me during the journey, when the incidents that brought them up were fresh in my mind. For any Opinions so expressed I am alone responsible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The British and Dutch in South Africa


Book Description

Excerpt from The British and Dutch in South Africa: A Paper Read Before the Trinity Club of Trinity Church, and the Dorchester Historical Society, and the Victorian Club of Boston In April, 1652, Jan Van Riebeek and a party of about 150 were landed at Table Bay, and in this manner South Africa became settled by the Dutch. In 1658 the great mistake of introducing negro slaves was made - a mistake from which the country has suffered much, and is the first and principal cause of the present trouble. There was no necessity for the introduction of slavery, for the climate for nine months in the year is to Europeans the pleasantest in the world, and white men can work in the open air without discomfort.
