He first attended a farm school and then went to Grey College, Bloemfontein. At the suggestion of Judge James Buchanan he continued his education at Deventer in the Netherlands. Before sitting for the admission examination to the University of Leyden he decided on legal training at the Inner Temple in London, where he was admitted early in the 1880's. In 1882 he was called to the bar. He now returned to Free State and soon had a flourishing practice in Bloemfontein. On 10 March 1887 he married Rachel Isabella (Tibbie) Fraser. His public career began in 1889 with his appointment as Attorney-General. He rose rapidly through the ranks and on 5 May 1892 he was promoted to first criminal judge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen FW Reitz resigned as president in 1895 Steyn seemed to be the obvious choice for the succession. J.G. Fraser, the other candidate opposed closer cooperation with the South African Republic (ZAR), while Steyn supported it. The Jameson Raid put the result beyond any doubt. Steyn won and was sworn in as president on 4 March 1896. Although he was just 39 years old his decisions and the naturalness with which he adapted to his high position bore testimony to an already mature attitude to life. He also displayed a strong sense of mission and duty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cape Town, Castle Art Collection and Nasionale Boekhandel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39591685914774,"sku":"President Steyn","price":380.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/products\/20210407_183731.jpg?v=1617823327"},{"product_id":"marthinus-theunis-steyn-n-lewensbeskrywing-by-n-j-van-der-merweafrikaans-text","title":"Marthinus Theunis Steyn.
