The reader will thus be able to follow the changes consecutively, and clearly see how they have been all in the same direction, from a broad democracy in which every adult had a voice, to an exceedingly narrow oligarchy which effectually excludes the majority of the people from the rights of citizenship.

On thorny points I have here and there preferred to quote recognised authorities -Theal, Livingstone, Sir H. H. Johnston, Mackenzie, and others; and am also indebted to Mr. N. W. Hill, of the Cape Civil Service, for some valuable information embodied in the Terminology.
