| Summary | "Selected Official Documents of the South African Republic and Great Britain" is a historical compilation written in the late 19th century. This work presents a collection of key documents that outline the complex political dynamics leading to the war in South Africa, particularly between the South African Republic and Great Britain. The focus is on significant treaties, legislative acts, and official communications that illuminated the tensions and disputes over issues such as franchise laws, representation, and military actions. The opening of this compilation introduces the purpose and scope of the documents included, aimed at providing readers with insights into the causes of the South African War. It emphasizes that these documents have been previously difficult to access for the general public. Initial entries begin with the London Convention of 1884, which defined the relationship between the South African Republic and Great Britain, followed by the revised Constitution and the franchise law amidst escalating tensions. The introduction clearly sets the stage for understanding the legal and political structures that underpinned the tensions during this pivotal period in South African history.
