Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of the Rt. Hon. Cecil John Rhodes, Vol. 1: 1853-1902 In essaying to write a Life of Cecil John Rhodes within a few years of that memorable day when, with many closer friends, I stood bare-headed beside his open grave, I feel that much has been necessarily left unsaid. In another generation, when all his contemporaries have passed away, some one with an abler pen, and from a more effective standpoint, may arise to portray, with more success, the character and achievements of one who strove, through many strenuous years, to advance the interests of the Empire in South Africa. Personal affection 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.
