George McCall Theal (1837-1919) was a prolific South African
historian and civil servant. After working as a missionary between
1875-1880 he was appointed magistrate of Tamacha before taking a
position as a clerk in the government and became Keeper of the Cape
Colony Archives. He was appointed Colonial Historiographer in 1891.
These volumes, first published in 1907, contain Theal's detailed
history of South Africa between 1505-1795. Theal discusses the
formation of the colony from the first Portuguese conquests,
exploring the Dutch colonial establishment and administration.
Theal also describes the societies of the various indigenous
peoples of South Africa and their relations with the colonists.
This volume provides valuable details on the administration of the
Dutch colony, and reveals contemporary attitudes to the ideas of
history and colonisation. These volumes are reissued from the
expanded 1910 edition.
