POSTSCRIPT. 273 



to encourage Boer immigration, it would soon 

 drain off the greater part of the best sort of 

 the burghers of that nominal republic. Liberal 

 monetary sacrifices as regards quit rents, and the 

 like, would certainly be necessary on the part 

 of the Company as a commencement, and a 

 minimum employment of the red tape so hateful 

 to the Boers would be prudent ; but the ultimate 

 success of some such well-devised scheme may, I 

 think, be safely predicted. 



In that case the company might justly consider 

 itself as having been the factor of the much-to-be 

 desired union of the white races in South Africa, 

 which would be a consequence of the action hinted 

 at ; and this great objective of the founder of 

 Rhodesia would be in a fair way to become another 

 of his achievements, should he incline to use the 

 great influence he possesses in favour of the plan 

 of campaign here indicated. 



THE END.
