Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This chapter details Rider Haggard’s 1916 journey around the world visiting South Africa, Australasia and Canada to negotiate the post-war settlement of British servicemen. He kept a low profile in South Africa in order not to jeopardize prime minister Louis Botha’s “great task of reconciliation” between Boer and Brit at a time when “many of the white population were openly anti-British and thus pro-German.” He meets public figures and old friends, including John Kotze. On the voyage to Australia, Haggard hatches plots for novels and keeps his diary, in which he reflects on turning sixty. From Australia he travels to New Zealand and then Canada where he learns a mountain has been named after him. Back in Britain Haggard is ordered to rest as the journey had affected his health and the Royal Colonial Institute issued his report, The After-War Settlement and Employment of Ex-servicemen.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
