Book Details
First Sentence
"'It will be remembered by those who took an interest on political matters in 1854, that I was the first man to give my sentiments in favour of South African Federation. It was one of my dreams, maybe, of a distant future, and I still indulge in that dream and that Confederation, which I said I hoped would form the United States of Africa.' It was Saul Solomon, memeber of the egislative Assembly, who uttered this reminder during the Extraordinary Session of the Cape Parliament held in November 1857; and the spacious prophecy was in striking contrast to the physical appearance of the man who spoke it. Saul Solomon was a remarkably small man."
