Bryce Nacks Up Boers In Review Of South Africa
In the current North American Review James Bryce argues that Britain’s claim to suzerainty over the Transvaal rests on imperfect treaties from 1852 and 1854 and that the 1877 annexation and 1884 concessions were misapplied. He contends the Boer republics had independent status and that Chamberlain’s fear of British danger was unjustified, a view from a respected English MP.

Boer General Joubert’s War Forecasts Prove Accurate
As early as October 27 Gen Joubert warned England faced a multi front struggle in the Transvaal and Natal. He predicted Boer defensive strength would frustrate British efforts and that 83,000 British troops could not be sent without retreating in the colonies. His forecasts of 35,000 operating against the Boers by December and a spread across Natal and Cape Colony have largely been borne out, with England suffering reverses and mounting pressure as it seeks victory.
