Excerpt from The Right Honourable Cecil John Rhodes: A Monograph and a Reminiscence
I have not attempted in this volume to give any detailed account Of Mr. Rhodes' life from childhood upwards. I have rather written a personal narrative Of his life and work, as they were associated with mine, in an intimacy Of many years, while at the same time I have given as complete an account and estimate Of his public career as the scheme of the book permitted. I have also Specially endeavoured to recall the best traditions of Mr. Rhodes' life, scarcely known to the general public, but cherished in the hearts Of his friends. If by any chance inaccuracies Of date or detail have crept in, I must ask the reader to remember that I write at a time Of life when memory is apt to fail, and also that I have had no opportunity Of verifying recollections by public records.
