The Times.--’Amid the never-ceasing flood of South African literature,
Mr. Buttery’s is a book which deserves to be read. He writes with
inside knowledge of the Transvaal, its recent history, and its public
men. His chapters are pointed, easy to read, and full of interesting
local matter. His description of the position of the Cape Dutch and of
the Bond is worth reading. The book contains within small compass more
useful and interesting information than is sometimes to be found in far
more pretentious volumes.’
Literature.--’It has the incisiveness that one expects from the work of
the man on the spot, and it illuminates the British case with anecdotes
and circumstantial details.
The Daily Telegraph.--’The author throws a good deal of light on the
proceedings of the Hollander clique. The book contains much that is of
interest at the present time.
The Rise and Fall of Krugerism
BY JOHN SCOBLE AND H. R. ABERCROMBIE
Demy 8vo., cloth extra, 10s. net. Popular Edition, 2s. 6d. net
The Daily Chronicle.--’The authors throw new light on much that we knew
before, and they write with the experience of old inhabitants.’
The Daily Express.--’A most timely book, and one well deserving the
serious consideration of all public men.’
The Scotsman.--’Those in search of enlightenment respecting the rise and
fall of Krugerism in South Africa will find this volume a mine of
information on the subject.’
The Manchester Courier.--’The most striking feature of the work is its
almost encyclopedic completeness, for there is hardly one of the many
phases of political interest connected with South Africa which is not
threshed out in these pages. There is a tone of healthy Imperialism
about this book which is refreshing and attractive. It will be welcomed
as a logical and painstaking presentation of the South African
question.’
The Newcastle Daily Chronicle.--’We leave the book convinced that a
perusal of it will open the eyes of the British people all over the
world to the evils and dangers of Krugerism in such a way as perhaps no
other one book could do.’
The Yorkshire Post.--’A valuable as well as an interesting work.’

serves a useful purpose in bringing the known facts and the arguments to
be deduced from them within the reach of all.’
