A fine archive relating to South Africa, the Boer War and Cecil Rhodes – a group of three manuscript journals compiled by James Tait Plowden-Wardlaw covering the period immediately before to the period immediately after the Boer War, and noting in considerable detail the events which were happening around him in South Africa. Written in a flowing hand in both pencil and ink with considerable observation and description, each journal sm 4to size, one lacking top cover but otherwise good, the other two in good order throughout. These journals provide an important first hand account of his associations with the major figures in Southern Africa at the time, notably Cecil Rhodes, and Sir Charles Metcalfe, described as ‘the evil genius of Rhodes’. He also describes Rhodes’ death and attending Rhodes’ funeral. Other references include descriptions of the major figures in the Boer nation, and references to the concentration camps set up by the British and Emily Hobhouse, the young English girl who campaigned for the welfare of Boer prisoners: ‘...the Boer women were supplied for instance with flour but had no opportunity for baking bread with it. They had no vegetables except rice and no fresh milk for the infants... there was some truth in Miss Hobhouse’s statements...’ Plowden-Wardlaw (1873-1971), was a barrister who served as an advocate in the Supreme Court of the Cape Colony – hence his first hand experience of people and events. In later life he became a priest serving as Vicar of St Clement’s Cambridge. He is also a noted author on ecclesiastical subjects (see following lot).
