I cam across this map showing the Transvaal gold fields. It is in Creswicke volume 8, p109.

David,

I am devistated, I thought there was only seven volumes of Creswicke.
I have the seven volumes, unaware of the eighth :(

Paul,

The 8th volume is about the future of South Africa and looks at the railways, commerce, sheep falming etc but there is a chapter on the future of the SAC authored by BP.

I don't recall ever having seen this volume before.

I will add the 8th volume to the site tomorrow.

Best wishes
David

Paul,

The contents may explain why it is not a common volume:

A certain Mr C J Rhodes, Lord Milner and a well known Colonial Secretary would all have certainly approved, I do hope that all the spilled blood was worth it! :(
