The Life of the Rt. Hon. Cecil John Rhodes, Vol. 1

Excerpt from The Life of the Rt. Hon. Cecil John Rhodes, Vol. 1: 1853-1902 Personal afiection on my part may unconsciously sway my judgment of the only great man with whom I have lived on terms of intimacy, but whatever the shortcomings of his Biographer, I am confident that posterity will not fail to appreciate the genius and essential worth of one of the greatest Englishmen of the Victorian era. To the friends who have helped me in my task I now tender sincere and grateful thanks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
