Excerpt from Raid and Reform

Young and growing countries have but little time for the production Of literature, and South Africa is no exception to this rule. Nevertheless, South Africa has produced a historian Of talent, patriotism, and industry in mccoll Theal. In five goodly volumes Mr. Theal has recorded for the benefit Of his own and succeeding generations the history Of South Africa from its earliest times in the fifteenth century down to the year 1872. It is a history full Of incident and interest, Clearly and truthfully written, and I can cordially recommend it to South African readers. For the purpose Of this Review, however, I propose confining myself to that portion Of the work which deals with the history Of the emigrant farmers, who, leaving the Cape Colony in 1836 and 1837, gradually dispersed themselves over.
