FOOTNOTES
[1] How thoroughly Rhodes and Mr. Stead’s ideas harmonized at that time can best be seen from a comparison of Mr. Stead’s manifesto to ‘all English-speaking Folk’, which was published in the first number of the Review of Reviews (Eng.), which appeared not long after, Jan. 15, 1891, with a letter, one of his few long letters, which Rhodes wrote to Mr. Stead in August of that year (dated Aug. 19-Sept. 3). See Review of Reviews (Eng.), Jan. 15, 1891, and W. T. Stead’s Last Will and Testament of C. J. R., pp. 99-102, 64-76.
