About This Book
The author provides a detailed political and legal examination of relations between the Boer government and resident foreigners, scrutinizing annexation, treaty conventions, and the denial of franchise. He documents alleged judicial failures, policing abuses, and oligarchic rule, and assesses financial policy, monopolies, and the role of gold-mining interests. Episodes such as the Jameson Raid, petitions by uitlanders, and diplomatic exchanges are used to illustrate contested rights and the limits of British protection. The account surveys arbitration proposals, conference negotiations, and competing arguments about sovereignty, rights, and practical governance.
