Pressed clippings of Victorian current affairs opinion pieces by Wilhelm Bleek. Published in Het Volksblad on Thursday, October 12th, 1865. Sir Philip Wodehouse does not appear to be favourably inclined to the change towards 'Responsible Government' advanced by prominent statesmen of the day like Saul Solomon, A government truly responsible to the Legislature of the Cape Colony. Which Wodehouse understands to be an inevitable change toward self-degtermination/autonomy. The unsuitability of the present system at ensuring a 'good and efficient Government'.
