Mr. Maurice S. Evans has laid the people of South Africa under a deep debt of gratitude for the time, the care, and the thought he has devoted to the book which he has just published.

The book is one that must be read by every South African, and by all interested in South Africa s future.quot RAND DAILY MAIL. quotMr. Evans has contributed much to the ephemeral literature of the time, but his matured convictions are recorded in the handsome volume which has now reached this country.

Mr. Evans does not stop at abstract discussion, but carries matters boldly into the realms of constructive suggestion.quot NATAL ADVERTISER. quotSo true, exhaustive, kindly, yet shrewd a picture of a native race has surely never been drawn yet, and the average Natalian reading Mr. Evans pages will be forced to ac knowledge the correctness of the picture and to acknowledge also that it brings out many a characteristic and feature that had escaped the reader s notice but which he is none the less compelled to recognize as. correct also.quot CONTEMPORARY REVIEW. quotTo all who are really interested in this immense and very difficult subject we commend a study of this, book with its mass of information and its consideration of the actual facts that arise out of the contact of black and white in South-East Africa.quot ATHENAEUM. quotMr. Evans long and earnest study of native questions entitles him to a respectful hearing.
