Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IX CECIL JOHN EHODES: HIS IDEALS AND CHARACTER In sketching the career of Mr. Rhodes I have endeavoured to bring out his striking characteristics as the narrative proceeded, and to let the events themselves, the best of all interpreters, reveal the undercurrents of thought and purpose which shaped his life. I cannot conclude, however, without summarising what has been almost casually presented in following a history so full of great events and issues. It has been said that Cecil Rhodes somewhat resembled Napoleon, in the vastness of his conceptions as well as in some of his weaknesses. There seems some truth in the comparison, and it is quite possible, as we shall see, that the great French soldier had had some influence on the fortunes of Cecil Rhodes. His features indeed bore some resemblance to Napoleon's, but the face and figure were, if I may say so, of looser formation and not so closely knit. Perhaps the same remark may also apply to his genius and his habits of thought. But the comprehensive vision, the wide outlook, the genius for seeing below the surface of things, the vast organising power which not only took in all the elements of a great combination, but bent men and things to its achievement--these were characteristic of both. But there were great differences. Cecil Rhodes was no soldier, nor did he covet a soldier's methods. His connection with the Raid was an accident. He loved to take men, or "human beings," as he called them, with him, and by mesmeric persuasion to make them fellow-workers, sometimes, possibly, convenient tools. His appeal was not to the vested interests, but to the people. They were indeed his last line of defence when he was sore oppressed by the desertion of political and mercantile...

Book Description
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.

Cecil Rhodes and Other Statues

Pages : 228
Book Description
Like the Pharaohs he admired, Cecil John Rhodes (1853-1902) hoped to be remembered for 4,000 years. Barely 120 years later, many people want him expunged from history altogether. A major figure in the British Empire, he has been the subject of a bitter international controversy. This book sheds new light on a complicated story, relates the history of the Rhodes Scholarships, and suggests common-sense rules for commemorating contested figures as diverse as Robert E. Lee and Mahatma Gandhi.. Book Review 1: “It reads like a dream. At once masterful, thoughtful, and accessible.” -- Nigel Biggar, Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology, Christ Church College, Oxford Book Review 2: “Important, timely, and politically electrifying.” -- Edwin Cameron, Former Justice of South Africa’s Constitutional Court Book Review 3: “I could not put it down. I admire how you manage to combine a judicious and balanced approach while writing a book that is so exciting.” -- Timothy Radcliffe, OP, Blackfriars, Oxford Book Review 4: “Taut, clearly written, packed with information, judicious, personal, and direct.” -- Robert Baldock, Former Managing Director, Yale University Press, London Book Review 5: “Well done. A cool forensic account. Very timely.” -- Michael Holman, Former Africa Editor, Financial Times
Cecil Rhodes and the Cape Afrikaners

Book Description
This study of the relationship between Cecil Rhodes and the Cape Afrikaners fills many gaps in his political biography. Previous biographers have rarely consulted the abundant Cape Afrikaner sources that this book refers to and which contribute to a better understanding of Rhodes' political career. Rhodes, who appeared on the political scene of the Cape Colony in the 1880s, played an important role in the shaping of the political outlook of the Cape Afrikaners during the last two decades of the century.
