Excerpt from The Memoirs of Paul Kruger: Four Times President of the South African Republic; Told by Himself The English and American edition has been trans lated by Mr. A. Teixeira de Mattos from Dr. Scho walter's revised German text, collated line for line with Mr. Kruger's original Dutch; with this differ ence that, in this edition, Mr. Kruger speaks in the first person throughout, whereas, in the Conti nental editions, the narrative is allowed to change into the third person from the point at which he be gins to attain a prominent position in the affairs of his country. This latter arrangement, which ap peared on reconsideration to be an artificial one, hasbeen altered in this translation, and it has also been decided that, after Mr. Kruger's death, all subsequent Continental editions shall be printed in the first per son throughout.
