This book is about the seven wills which Cecil Rhodes made between the ages of twenty-four and forty-six which constitute a kind of spiritual autobiography. Rhodes was born in an English parsonage in 1853. He was a boy of delicate health and in 1870 his parents sent him to South Africa to join his brother, Herbert, who was trying to make a living by growing cotton in Natal. In 1871 Cecil and Herbert migrated to the diamond fields of Kimberley where Cecil Rhodes laid the foundation of his fortune. The purpose of this book is to outline the methods by which the Rhodes Trustees have during the last forty years patiently met the problems presented by so new an experiment in international education, to explain the steps by which the American Scholarships have been made more and more successful, and to say what can be said about the record of the men at Oxford and in the United States after their return.

The monumental lion at the site of Amphipolis in northern Greece is one of the most illustrated sculptures in textbooks of ancient art. It is probably the burial monument of Laomedon, a general and close friend of Alexander the Great. Until the 1930s however, the remains of the lion were fragmentary and little known. This book, by a famous art historian, describes the re-erection of the monument by the French and American Schools in Athens, at a time when the gathering clouds of war gave new meaning to this symbol of Greek military prowess. It presents a full description of the 4th-century B.C. lion, its meaning, and its historical context.
