Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
London, Thornton Butterworth, Ltd., 1931 (first edition, first impression, the primary variant with the horizontal spine lettering). Octavo, 141, [3] (constitution and aims of the Indian Empire Society) pages. Blind-stamped orange cloth lettered in black on the front cover and horizontally across the spine; cloth very lightly marked on the sides; minute hole in the cloth on the rear joint (clearly a material flaw); spine a little faded, with an unobtrusive library call number (954 Chu) in white ink near the tail faintly visible; unmarked library card pocket on the verso of the rear free endpaper; later presentation bookplate on the front free endpaper (see below); notwithstanding, a very appealing copy, internally in fine condition. Provenance: Lesley Kilmeny Symon (1885-1969), one of the daughters of Sir Josiah Symon (1846-1934), South Australian lawyer and politician; he was a member of the Australian Senate in the First Australian Parliament, and an Attorney-General of Australia (and much else besides). She gifted the book to St Ann's College (a tertiary residential college in Adelaide) in July 1963; the bookplate establishes the fact. When the book was recently deaccessioned, Ms Symon's name on the bookplate was partially blacked out. Her earlier ownership initials in pencil can still be made out at the head of the page. Cohen A92; Woods A38; Langworth, pages 148-153 ('among the rarest of Churchill's hardbound volumes, much less often seen, for example, than the "Malakand" or "The River War"'); Langworth (Amplified Woods List, second edition) A38(a.1). Woods records that an edition in wrappers was published simultaneously; Langworth notes that 'Softbound copies on the market today outnumber hardbound copies by at least twenty to one, which offers a clue as to their original print runs. The books were printed on pulpy paper, and it is rare to encounter a copy entirely free of spots'. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 122049

Paperback, Demy 8vo. (7.5 x 5 ins.) Green paper covers, lettered in black. In very good condition. Spine and cover edges darkened. Small rubbed spot to front. One dark foxing spot to edge of title page. No inscriptions. Some occasional minor foxing to pages. Else a very good clean and tight copy. 141pp. Cat.3pp. "India" is, like many of Churchill's speeches, a scarce item. It was simultaneously published in hard-back and in the limp cover edition (see above), both editions equally scarce. "The political significance of this little volume is that the subject matter and Churchill's own stance on the question of India largely contributed to his many years in the wilderness during the 1930's period of personal depression in his political fortunes, yet, curiously, a period of preparation, because by distancing himself from so many others, he then became acceptable to all as wartime Prime Minister."

First edition, first impression, cloth issue, from the library of Churchill's bibliographer Ronald Cohen. The book collects Churchill's speeches opposing moves towards Indian self-governance. It was issued in wrappers at one shilling and cloth at two: "softbound copies on the market today outnumber hardbound copies by at least twenty to one. jacketed hardbacks are extremely rare" (Langworth, pp. 151-2). The 1930s were Churchill's wilderness years. His ostracism from high office was not just due to his unrelenting opposition to Hitler - "another, and earlier reason lay in his bitter opposition to Baldwin's India policy. Churchill had always hit hard; not for him a round of gentlemanly sparring between friends. His fight to maintain full control of India employed not just the clenched fist but the bludgeon" (Woods, p. 69). Though Churchill lost the fight (and history has not been kind to him for his stand), the speeches include some of his finest oratory. Provenance: Ronald Cohen, with his ownership inscription in pencil on the front free endpaper. Cohen's Bibliography of the Writings of Sir Winston Churchill, published in three volumes in 2006, is the authoritative source for collectors, librarians, and dealers. Cohen A92.1.a; Woods A38. Richard M. Langworth, A Connoisseur's Guide to the Books of Sir Winston Churchill, 1998. Octavo. Original orange cloth, spine and front cover lettered in black between blind rules (spine lettered horizontally, also found lettered vertically without priority of issue), publisher's device in blind to lower outer corner of both covers. With dust jacket. Housed in a burgundy cloth flat-back box by the Chelsea Bindery. Pencilled signature of Charles L. White dated 1987 to front free endpaper, compliment's slip of Guildhall Bookshop loosely inserted noting White was private secretary to Lloyd George in his youth, a few pencilled sidelines. Light spotting to edges, slight worming to rear cover of book and jacket; somewhat chipped with closed tears at extremities, repaired with tape on verso (offset visible on recto), flaps without price as issued: a very good copy in good jacket.
