FOOTNOTES:

[1] The distances given after the names of rivers indicate the length
of the river valleys, including those of the main upper branch. In
nearly all instances the rivers, owing to their sinuous course, are
much longer.

[2] This is an overstatement. The director of the census estimated
the true number of Hottentots at about 56,000.

[3] It is stated that Colonel R.J. Gordon (the explorer of the Orange
river), who commanded the Dutch forces at the Cape, chagrined by the
occupation of the country by the British, committed suicide.

[4] From 1737 to 1744 George Schmidt, "The apostle to the
Hottentots," had a mission at Genadendal--"The Vale of Grace."

[5] Masters were allowed to keep their ex-slaves as "apprentices"
until the 1st of December 1838.

[6] The act enjoined that "every male native residing in the
district, exclusive of natives in possession of lands under ordinary
quit-rent titles, or in freehold, who, in the judgment of the
resident magistrate, is fit for and capable of labour, shall pay to
the public revenue a tax of ten shillings per annum unless he can
show to the satisfaction of the magistrate that he has been in
service beyond the borders of the district for at least three months
out of the previous twelve, when he will be exempt from the tax for
that year, or unless he can show that he has been employed for a
total period of three years, when he will be exempt altogether."
