Excerpt from The New Era in South Africa: With an Examination of the Chinese Labour Question It was on October 11, 1899, that President Kruger flung down that challenge at the feet of Great Britain which closed one era in South Africa. It was on May 31, 1902, after a war the magnitude of which had astonished the whole civilised world, that the new order was inaugurated by the Peace of Vereeniging. Between these two dates lies one of the most memorable struggles of the British race - a struggle the gravity and importance of which future generations alone will be in a position to estimate at their true value. It is unnecessary to linger here over the many events crowded into the troubled, but withal epoch-making, years when, from the four quarters of the globe, men of Anglo-Saxon birth and descent, urged by the sense of a common unity, hurried to South Africa to draw sword in defence of the mother country. With the story of the war itself I am in no way concerned. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
