To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The superiority consists not only in having nearly 2, 000 years' start in civilisation, but also in the intrinsic qualities of the white man's mind. I am, of course, speaking of the races as an aggregate and in the average. There are natives who are as wonderfully in advance of their race as was Plato in his day in advance of his. But the blacks in the aggregate are incapable of obtaining the mastery over the whites, except under the same conditions as those under which Dingaan obtained the mas...tery over Piet Retief ; and the punishment inflicted for that murder on the whole Zulu army by four hundred farmers, armed with flintlock guns, is for ever typical of the superiority of the one race over the other, a superiority which has noth- ing to do with numbers, and never will have. The civilised native of the year A. D. 2, 000 will be less, not more, competent to master the white man than were the savage warriors of Dingaan competent to overwhelm the avengers of Piet Retief, and mere numbers will count no more in the future than they did in the past.
