Excerpt from Labour and Other Questions in South Africa: Being Mainly Considerations on the Rational and Profitable Treatment of the Coloured Races Living There

The conclusions arrived at by the author are not in accord with the views constantly enunciated by a large por tion of the London press. These latter are based too much on information that is often wanting in accuracy, and in some cases the writer believes designedly misleading. The pages following will be mainly a record of facts observed by the author, and of conversations with persons of diverse races and various political views the sources of information being indicated if not obvious from the context. The opinions given necessarily differ according to the quarter from which they emanated and the experience of the persons who gave them. The inferences deduced will also be found to vary somewhat from time to time as the writer saw new places and made new friends. But though in commenting on facts and conversations some variations in the views ex pressed occur, the conclusions are in the main the same, and are summarised at the end of the book. The author lost no Opportunity of obtaining and recording the Opinions of any one who appeared to have real opportunities of gauging the feelings of the inhabitants, white or black, or who had such experience of the country as enabled him to speak with any semblance of authority on past events, or to indicate the best policy for the future.

It is perhaps necessary to say that sympathy for the speaker or appreciation of his personal qualities, however strongly expressed, must not be taken to denote agreement with the opinions enunciated, and that such agreement where stated was, as before mentioned, liable to qualification as further experience was gained. The writer, it may be observed, has no financial interests of any kind in South Africa. The tour extended from early in December, 1902, to the end of March, 1903, and the record commences on board ship between Bombay and Aden.
