Excerpt from To the Cape for Diamonds: A Story of Digging Experiences in South Africa; With Comments and Criticisms, Political, Social, and Miscellaneous, Upon the Present State and Future Prospects of the Diamond Fields IN so far as this book is a narrative, I have no need to preface it, unless with a limitation self-evident. What strictures may be found herein upon Cape Colony, whether in its aspect and value as an agricultural country, or in the character and manners of its people, are to be considered only as applying to the parts of it I saw. There is, indeed, every reason to believe that a visit to the Eastern districts would have justified a very different report. To others it may be given to draw up this happier and brighter description, but a conscientious writer tells only what he sees. Let me not, however, be supposed to have portrayed the whole colony in sketching the Karoo, or West Griqualand. But I have also criticized certain acts of the Cape Government. A pmdent man, in weighing the value of these, will ask, From what point of view does the author write - which way lies his interest P Let me state, then, that I have no interest either way, nor any point of view save that of mere justice. I am neither digger nor landowner. The object of my journey was to report conscientiously the state of things upon the diamond fields, their commercial value, and the probabilities of their future. What may be found herein of censure upon any class or any custom, is, at least, an unbiassed Opinion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
