In New South Africa. By H. Lincoln Tangyo. (Horace Car.)—

These "Travels in the Transvaal and Rhodesia" date, of course, from before the late troubles, though the writer in preparing the narrative for the press has had the events of Jameson's Raid and the recent war with the native tribes of Rhodesia before him. He has much that is interesting to tell us, and his conclusions seem for the most part sensible. His verdict on British government generally is that it has been "inept," his prophecy of the future points to the rise of "United States of South Africa." The unity of interests between Boer, Afrikander, and Englishman is so real that foreign influences cannot long delay this practical result.
