At the end of the volume there are accounts of Cecil John Rhodes and Barnato. These chapters bristle with mistatements; Rhodes is alluded to as "Sir Cecil," and it is asserted that Barnato "controlled upward" of a million dollars or £200,000,000, " more than the combined wealth of the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts and Goulds."
