The Times.--"The matter is one of great importance, and the volume serves a useful purpose in bringing the known facts and the arguments to be deduced from them within the reach of all."
The Morning Post.--"If there are left in this country any reasonable persons who yet believe in the righteousness of Krugerism and the whole-hearted loyalty of the Afrikander Bond to the Mother Country, we commend to their kind attention "The South African Conspiracy," which forms a valuable companion to "The Transvaal from Within" and "The Rise and Fall of Krugerism." It is well that the voice of yet another who has lived long in South Africa, who has travelled far and wide in Cape Colony and the Transvaal, and who is familiar with the temper and aspirations of every section of the population, should have added its testimony to the ma.s.s of evidence which serves to show us how, but for the employment of military force, the British Empire would have soon been in a fair way of cla.s.sing South Africa with the United States, and other portions of the earth, that were once a part of that Empire, and now are not."
The Scotsman.--"Mr. Bell"s book will be found eminently worthy of perusal and consideration. It clears up many points and facts that have been purposely obscured."
The Daily Express.--"A valuable contribution to South African history."
The Yorkshire Post.--"We hope that Mr. Bell"s book will be widely read; it should be of real service in the face of the coming settlement."
The Daily Mail.--"The true inwardness of the origin, growth, and achievements of the Afrikander Bond have never been so succinctly and tersely set forth as in this book, which is excellent in its moderation, reserve, and judicious impartiality."
