South African literature is dealt with below. In art the greatest achievement of the South Africans is to be sought in architec ture, especially that of the old Dutch farmhouses still to be found at the Cape, beautifully adapted to the climate and the needs of the inhabitants—buildings to some extent imitated, but developed for more modern conditions, by the genius of Herbert Baker, the architect of the best modern public and private buildings.
