Excerpt from The Basutos, The Mountaineers Their Country
The books are the result of my investigations and experience during a long association with Basutoland. I commenced the outline after fifteen years' residence in that territory; but, in consequence of being unexpectedly transferred in 1901 for permanent duty in the Transvaal, was compelled to suspend the work until retirement from there in 1907 when Responsible Government was granted to that Colony. The purpose is to give a narrative of the principal events leading up to the situation in Basutoland to-day, and to show how it has developed under British protection and control.
It has been my endeavour to familiarize the reader in some degree with the country, and to relate so much of the annals of the Basuto, and of the government to which they have been subject, as would offer a picture of their past and present conditions of life.
