Notation
The article which ‘did not appear’ is one of Schreiner’s ‘A Returned South African’ essays, originally published in a range of magazines, including the Fortnightly, and intended to be reworked in book form, as Stray Thoughts on South Africa. A dispute with a publisher and then the outbreak of the South African War (1899-1902) prevented this, and they were in the event with some additional essays published posthumously as Thoughts on South Africa.
