Overview

Excerpt from Political Papers on South African Topics Some men stand out in bold relief from their fellows, by the maiked distinctness' of their lives, and their In literature, in trade, and in politics, this country has some of whom colonists have felt and c'ontinue to admire.

In the next rank, Bastem and Western men alike recognised in William Hume, another whose industry, energy, per severance, influence, and independence were marking him out as one to whom thej count1 y would ow the honour, due to a son of the soil; one of such political promise as to identify him' with the strong, and the leading, 1n the colony's political advancement.' Hardworking, enthusiastic, a Separationist of the Sepaiationists, the East, in him, expected the realisation of uncompromising adherence to Eastern pa1t1es and Eastern politics, for Eastern welfare. With his word for his bond, and a courage which no one doubted, his constituents looked upon him as impervious to influences which have been the political death of many a good man's fame. True and fast, khey confided in him as they have seldom done with others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
