About This Book

A meticulous compilation of official correspondence, minutes, and facsimiles records the peace negotiations that concluded at Vereeniging, presenting the documentary exchange between the republican governments and British representatives. It reproduces preliminary letters, stenographic reports of conferences at Klerksdorp and Pretoria, verbatim addresses and delegate debates at the final meeting, and proposed clauses with amendments. Editorial notes clarify where no secretaries were present and where accounts were reconstructed from participants' dictation, while appendices and illustrations furnish original proposals, oaths, and facsimile documents to support the official record.
