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.
