Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Cecil John Rhodes to write my personal reminiscences of one who was South Africa sgreatest friend and its most celebrated statesman. At first I was very diffident about undertaking the task, as I felt that in order to do justice to the subject a much abler pen than mine was needed for the purpose. As time went on, and it was made convincingly clear to me that a large majority of the population of South Africa laboured under serious and unjust misapprehensions as regards this great mans inner life, I felt it a duty to my late chief to spare no effort which would in any way help to disabuse the public mind of the erroneous impressions which had gained currency concerning him.
