Bryce, James. IMPRESSIONS OF SOUTH AFRICA.
New York The century Company 1900 Third edition, with a new prefatory chapter, and with the Transvaal conventions of 1881 and 1884 Very good
lx, 517p. Color folding map in rear. Bound in publisher's terra-cotta cloth with gilt spine titles
"There are several chapters on the geography, vegetation, and fauna of South Africa, together with a synopsis of the history of the native and European races; most of the important towns and industries are described, and there is an account of Basutoland and Rhodesia. The volume ends with a chapter entitled 'Reflections and Forecasts,' in which the author, in discussing the sources of irritation between the Boers and the British, advocates the establishment of a Federal Union of South Africa after the style of the German Confederation (1815-1866), which included four free republics. He did not consider that there were any insurmountable obstacles to the scheme if reasonable concessions were made by the leaders of the different states concerned; and he asserts that the Afrikander population have never been hostile to the British Crown." (Mendelssohn I, p. 209.).
