To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I feel no vindicti veness against the bulk of the rebels, for they were but the sheep that followed the goats. The victorious Transvaal would drive the English to the sea and they too would join in the procession. Though they were guilty of a foolish crime, they at any rate came out boldly into the open light of day, risked their lives and took 12 the consequences. But, ladies, when I come to think of that other crowd of Africanders who skulk in the twilight and whose courage is mere insolence,... men who, secure in person and in property, sit behind the British lines of defence, and from there urge on the poor Transvaalers, Free Staters and insurgents to continue the struggle for their own personal benefit, then words fail me to express my loathing and contempt. (Applause. ) Their newspapers exaggerate British losses, sneer at British arms, cast grave doubts on British successes in order to buoy up the Republican hopes ; they exaggerate the spread of the flames of rebellion, and promise moral support with an empty woid.
