Excerpt from The Times History of the War in South Africa, 1899-1902, Vol. 3 The favourable reception accorded three years ago to the second volume of the present work, both by subscribers and by the general public, in spite of the considerable delays which had attended its publication, encouraged me in the belief that I should do right in proceeding on the same lines, and in subordinating all other considerations to the en deavour to produce a thoroughly trustworthy and convincing narrative. Circumstances were, in many ways, more favour able to my undertaking than they had been before. The conclusion of the war enabled me to visit many of the battle fields I had been unable to see during the progress of hostilities, and has since brought within my reach a vast amount of information previously inaccessible. These favouring conditions have not only greatly amplified the evidence available with regard to the details of the various operations, but have given me a much fuller insight into the inner mechanism of the campaign, into the motives and ideas on both sides, of which the struggle on the battlefield was but the outward and visible expression. The result is a volume which, I venture to think, is in many respects a decided improvement upon its predecessor. But the result has only been attained at the cost of a great increase of the labour involved, and of a protracted delay which has, I am well aware, sorely taxed the patience of subscribers.
