R. Fox Bourne's piece. It describes the conflict between ever growing material interests and the promised ethical concerns of men like Mr. Chamberlain and the Marquis of Salisbury. It also contains Fox Bourne's appeal to the British populace for the protection of the rights of the people of Transvaal on the grounds that they are stewarded by the empire.
Foxbourne then describes the history and customs of the natives prior to European influence. In doing so, he showcases his implicit bias and provides insight into the greater imperial perspective. Since it is the introductory section, their are three key takeaways that at relevant throughout the rest of the piece: Fox Bourne's appeal, the state of the natives prior to European influence, and the work's hostile perspective of superiority.
