Synopsis
Excerpt from A Guide to the Transvaal
It is a fashion with many European travellers to compare Johannesburg adversely with towns of similar ex tent and population in the old country which have taken centuries to develop. We expect a little more discrimination than that from the distinguished visitors whom the Trans vaal welcomes in August, 1905.
