This is the earliest published biography of Cecil Rhodes (1853-1902), published just two years before his death. The work was published pseudonymously under the moniker "Vindex." C.M. Woodhouse, in the "Notes on Sources" at the front of his book on Rhodes, identified Vindex as the Reverend F. Verschoyle. A laudatory 1900 Rhodes biography apparently commissioned by Rhodes himself. Though it was published under the pseudonym "Vindex," Verschoyle's support of Rhodes was well-known enough that several contemporary reviewers suspected him as the author.
