Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of South Africa, Vol. 1 of 4: A History of the Origin of South African IT has been said that History unenlightened by Philosophy is no better than an Old almanac. This surely cannot man that the sirnple narration Of the events which have led to, or in themselves may have been so many steps in, the development of a country, is without value. It is sincerely hoped that this is not so, for in the present work there will be found nothing Of the nature Of a philosophical disquisition on the springs Of human con duct, or on the origin and growth Of civil society, nor any views respecting the right principles to be adopted in the formation and government of Colonies; yet it is believed that a straightforward. Unbiassed account Of the circumstances Of hardship, endurance and perseverance under which the Eastern Province took its rise and con tinned to struggle for so many years will be read with interest, and the lack Of philosophy pardoned.
