| Sumario: | George McCall Theal was a prolific South African historian & 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 & 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 & administration. Theal also describes the societies of the various indigenous peoples of South Africa & their relations with the colonists. This volume provides valuable details on the administration of the Dutch colony, & reveals contemporary attitudes to the ideas of history & colonisation. These volumes are reissued from the expanded 1910 edition. |
