"Brenthurst is a busy place. As well as the running of the private homes and the considerable task of maintaining the gardens, work of many other kinds is done on the estate and it would clearly not be possible to interrupt these activities by permitting completely open access. However, Bridget and Harry Oppenheimer have always been generous in making it possible to visit the gardens by invitation. I hope this book will add to the enjoyment of visitors, and, through the splendid photography of Dick Scott and Hans van Dyk, bring the beauty of the gardens to those who cannot come themselves. Readers will find that the illustration and commentary in the book are in the form of a tour, roughly following the route on which visitors are likely to see the gardens.".…

Indeed, the young Englishman who arrived at the Cape in 1850 made little direct impact on its story. He was nonetheless to become a profound influence on some of the Cape's most famous men and an astute chronicler of the political and social events of his time. His memoirs, published here for the first time, cover half a century of Cape history, from 1850 to 1900. Soldiering, farming, copper-mining - Currey tried all these; then, on the advice of governor Sir George Grey he joined the Cape civil service. While in its employ in the late 1860s he was entrusted with the task of introducing to a sceptical Europe southern Africa's first diamond, the 'Eureka'. Later, as secretary to the government of Griqualand West, he chose the new name of 'Kimberley' for the burgeoning diamond-fields town of New Rush. But in 1875 Currey was blamed for the diggers' rebellion there, and this led to his dismissal from office and blighted his subsequent public career. While he was in Kimbeley Currey befriended two young fortune-hunters, both of whom were to become renowned premiers of the Cape: Cecil John Rhodes and John X. Merriman. To both of them Currey was to remain a lifelong friend and counsellor. . He is revealed in the account not as a politician but as a man who helped to shape politicians, not as a man who made history but rather as one who was passionately part of it. The manuscript forms part of The Brenthurst Collection, as do the majority of the contemporary illustrations which complement the text.".…
