"He [the author] has written a plain, straightforward narrative of what he himself saw and learned during his recent visit to South Africa. . . . The only criticism of it will be that which Sam Weller passed on his own love letter, that the reader 'will wish there was more of it'—which is the great art of letter-writing and of book-writing."—New York World.
"The first systematic and categorical exposition of the merits of the whole case and its origins written by a disinterested observer. . . . An informing book, and a well-written one."—New York Mail and Express.
"Gives precisely the information necessary to those who desire to follow intelligently the progress of events at the present time."—New York Commercial Advertiser.
"A most satisfactory and timely book."—Chicago Times-Herald.
"A most interesting and timely book."—Boston Herald.
"Has all the timeliness of an up-to-date newspaper article; in fact, some portions of it read almost like a cablegram from the Transvaal."—New York Sunday World.
"A book on the Boer troubles that is free from British prejudices and misrepresentations. ... It is the best book of the hour in its unbiased presentation of the Boer side of the controversy."—Chicago Tribune.
