Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin, Causes and Object of the War In response to many requests for publication in full of the lectures delivered under the title of "The Origin, Causes and Object of the War," an attempt has been made to give the substance of many lectures in the form of one. Over twenty have been delivered in various parts of South Africa, and the blendings of so many reports is not easy. Many interesting details and nearly all the illustrative incidents have been omitted to keep the publication within reasonable limits. If there is some repetition of important matter it is merely because complete rewriting and recasting would have been necessary to avoid it. The accompanying map illustrating Germany's scheme of World Power is similar to that used in the lectures. Neither the map nor the lecture will satisfy those who are well up in the subject.
