In the 'Extracts' for 4 April
1900, Charles Carrington records "Posts 'Sin of Witchcraft'
to the The Times". And in his biography of RK, p. 312,
Carrington says that it "appeared in The Times in
April". I cannot find it in The Times archive on line
for April and May 1900. Lycett merely records that it was sent
to The Times, as recorded in the 'Extracts', but says
nothing about its actual appearance..
Query: was it ever published? Carrington
described what it was - a non-fiction piece, attacking the
disloyal elements in Cape Colony. It must have been something
of a political 'hot-potato', and may well not have been accepted
for publication, but since The Times seems to have
taken anything by RK, pretty much without question, that seems
unlikely. We (the Society) don't seem to have it listed among
RK's works in the New Reader's Guide.
Any information or ideas, please.
