Summary "The Transvaal from Within: A Private Record of Public Affairs" by J.P. Fitzpatrick is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work seeks to provide a detailed narrative of the events and local sentiments surrounding the political landscape of the Transvaal during a time of significant tension and upheaval, particularly focusing on the perspectives of the Uitlanders and their perceived grievances against the Boer government. The opening of the text reveals the author's motivations for writing the account, which stem from a desire to clarify misunderstandings regarding the political situation in the Transvaal, particularly in relation to the tensions between English-speaking immigrants and the Boer government. The author, who served as the Secretary of the Reform Committee, reflects on the need to present the Uitlander viewpoint and recounts historical grievances, emphasizing the stringent authoritarianism of President Kruger and the oppressive conditions faced by the Uitlanders. Fitzpatrick introduces the pivotal moments leading to the political crisis and the broader implications for South African history, setting the stage for the detailed exploration of events that follow.
