This book is a record of a hundred years of strife - written in the cause of peace. It attempts to state the case for a permanent peace as between British and Dutch in Southern Africa; and, in describing the havoc wrought by a century of conflict, to submit de facto an overwhelming argument for a peace based on mutual recognition of rights. The quarrel is deeply seated. The spirit of it is still active. It is a conflict between two ideals represented respectively by Kruger and Rhodes the one aiming at a Dutch hegemony, the other standing for British Imperialism. Through its countless ramifications it has literally shaken the world. It has shaken Africa and is still- affecting the politics of the Union. That it must now cease is abundantly clear. If it does not, if we in South Africa fail to reconcile our differences and become one in sentiment, then we or those who will follow, must eventually stand disarmed and at the mercy of the yellow races of the East. The argument bearing upon this will be found developed in the last chapters of this work. It may perhaps prove the more convincing if considered in the light of the vast changes which hang upon time and the operation of economic laws.
