212 pages, other than Lord Milner and Cecil Rhodes who receive a two-page spread each all the other subjects are given one page with a portrait photograph and a biography.
Bound in quarter maroon roan leather with a gilt decorated and title front cover, all edges gilt. The leather of the spine is worn and chipped and the cloth is dull and insect scarred. The contents which are printed on coated paper are generally good apart for several small tears in the lower margins none of which affect the printed area. The last ten pages are lightly water stained around the edges but again this does not affect the printed area.
Signed Nangle on the front free endpaper. A Dr. E.C. Nangle’s entry appears on page 172.
A South African Bibliography, volume 3, page 751.
It is unknown how this book came to be published in Maine. As most of the important figures of the time are included it is presumed not to be hagiograhphic. In the Editors’ Note a delay in publication is explained as being due to the prolongation of the Anglo-Boer War.
