The real conditions of Dr. Jameson's surrender had also become known, and although the action of the Boer leaders was regarded as far too trifling a matter to be seriously con- sidered as against the Raid itself, nevertheless a residuum of impression was left which helped to form opinion at a later stage. There followed, too, an irritating correspondence between the Transvaal and Imperial Governments, in the course of which Dr. Leyds successfully established his skill as a smart letter writer a...nd his limitations as a statesman. The Municipal Law, the first product of the * forget and forgive ' proclamation — ^which proclamation, by-the-bye, had already begun to prove itself an awkward weapon placed in the hands of his enemies by President Kruger himself — had been exposed and denounced as farcical, and it now required but little to convince the once admiring world of the Pre- THREE YEARS' GRACE 287 sident's real character and intentions. That little was forth- coming in a touch of ridicule more potent than all arguments.
