Excerpt from The Transvaal War: 1880-81 The accounts given in these pages, as well as the opinions expressed, are mainly based upon official documents which have already appeared in print - in Parliamentary Blue-books, Transvaal Government Gazettes, and other publications, - but, as these sources of information are scattered and troublesome to get at, it has been thought convenient to reprint, in Appendix or footnote form, extracts from some of the despatches, orders, and correspondence to which reference is made. In the first chapter we have endeavoured to indicate the causes which brought about a most unnecessary war, and the further errors which led to a state of preparedness to cope effectively with it. And in the last we have treated of the way in which that war, after having passed through certain phases, - the besieged garrisons heroically holding their own, but the Natal column beaten back in the attempt, with miscalculated means, to relieve them, - was abruptly brought to an inglorious close.
