Very rarely seen. Dr Boeseken worked for many years in the State Archives and her great knowledge of the Dutch, the VOC and early Cape History enabled her to produce a number of books on the early settlement of the Cape. Her careful annotation of these documents (which start with instructions given to Jan van Riebeeck) show important milestones in South African and Cape history. It is regrettable that the State Archives discontinued this series as it contributed to a better understanding of a period about which relatively little is now written.

45 Pallandt, Baron A. van. GENERAL REMARKS ON THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE; translated from the French. Cape Town: Trustees of the South African Public Library, 1917.

39 p. Stiff paper covers. Originally published in 1803. R 300

Pallandt was on the personal staff of General Janssens. The original pamphlet was printed at the Cape in June 1803. Fifty copies were run off the Government Press in Cape Town whilst Janssens was touring the interior. The new Dutch government was unhappy about the contents and 38 copies were recovered and destroyed. Pallandt had sent 6 copies overseas and 2 more copies were seized off the ship Spion in Table Bay. Only 4 copies were lost. Pallandt, with family influence, was quickly allowed to leave the Cape and no further action was taken against him. Only 1 copy of the original work is held in SA. The pamphlet is a superb overview of the problems that faced those ruling the Cape and SA for the next 100 years. He also clearly sets out the frontier disputes that had previously arisen and the mentality that governed on both sides of the frontier divide. He also discloses views ahead of the time: "the natives are set to do the hardest tasks in the Colony without, however, receiving from their masters proportional payment…” (p. 24). He also proposed that rather than building castles on the coastline, a motivated population who loved the country, both black & white settlers, in the interior and exploiting the habitat they knew well would "… arrest the progress of the enemy" (p. 28) in the event of an attack. He concluded that factors at the Cape would have to undergo fundamental change for the Cape to become an asset to Holland. An interesting item.

"...maps the valiant efforts of the first railway company to establish an extensive railway network in an isolated country in Africa. At the close of the nineteenth century when the Boers of the 'Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek' (ZAR) were still living in a pre-industrial timeframe and had never seen a train, a railway company, the 'Nederlandsche Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorweg Maatschappij' (NZASM), laid the foundation of a modern transport system. Together with the gold-mining industry in the Eastern Transvaal and on the Witwatersrand the railways inaugurated the industrial revolution in a country managed by an agrarian people.' Flyleaf.

viii, 89 p.: genealogical tables. 4to. Pict. paper wraps. R 500

One of the most important publications to challenge apartheid. This publication came out during the height of opposition to apartheid and two years before the second state of Emergency. Hans Heese drew on the substantial body of genealogical literature that had grown up around the well kept archives of the N.G. Church (of which his father, J.A. Heese, was archivist). Heese did not reveal anything new, but what he did was to set out plainly (names and dates) when intermarriages had taken place between black and white at the Cape. The reaction to his book was emotional in some quarters and legal threats and worse were aimed at him. Of particular note was that one of the ancestors of Ds. Andries Treurnicht (leader of the Conservative Party which opposed any liberalisation of government policies) was named in the book as having married "Victoria van die Kaap". Jan Hoon, Conservative MP for Kuruman and one of the most implacable opponents of liberalism in South Africa, publically announced his intention to sue Heese. Heese invited Hoon to meet him in the Cape Archives and look at the records with him. The case never came to court! This book shook the foundation of one of the basic tenets upon which apartheid was founded. This slim paperback is scarce in this condition.
