Mendelssohn II, p. 320 [1905 printing]: “At the end of the volume there are accounts of Cecil John Rhodes and Barney Barnato. These chapters bristle with misstatements; Rhodes is alluded to as ‘Sir Cecil,’ and it is asserted that Barnato ‘controlled upward’ of a billion dollars or £200,000,000, ‘more than the combined wealth of the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, and Goulds.’ (Mr. B. Barnato's will was proved at under one million sterling.)”
