Description:
London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1910. First edition, only printing. Paperback. This is the first edition, first state of this striking, scarce, and fragile early collection of Churchill's speeches. In 1904, Churchill quit the Conservative Party and joined the Liberals, beginning a dynamic chapter in his political career that saw him champion progressive causes and be branded a traitor to his class. In 1910, when The People's Rights was published, Winston Churchill was a powerful political force and a member of the Cabinet. From December 3-11, 1909 Churchill was on the campaign trail on behalf of the Liberals. The People's Rights is a distillation of these nine days of speeches, criticizing the House of Lords (which had rejected Liberal Government's budget, thus precipitating the campaign) and championing Free Trade, a graduated income tax, luxury tax, and surtaxes on unearned income. Churchill's efforts were not wasted; as a result of the election, the Liberals would achieve a slim majority and…

A very good copy of the first edition of "The most authoritative book on 18th century ship-building published in England" (Abbey), written by John Charnock (1756-1807), member of the Royal Navy and author of several highly esteemed works on marine history and ship-building. The present work offers a broad historic overview not only of English, French, Dutch shipbuilding, but includes also the Asian and the Pacific region.
Our copy with an albumen photograph (27.5 x 21cm.) of the "HMS Asia" mounted at blank page the end of vol. 3, and on its facing page a manuscript note on the history of that ship by its midshipman Thomas William Oliver, dated November 1892. The HMS Asia was an 84-gun ship of the Royal Navy, launched in 1824 at Bombay Dockyard. It was the British admiral Codrington's flagship at the naval Battle of Navarino during the Greek War of Independence (1821-1832); Active in the Syria campaign against Mehemet Ali, in the Eastern Mediterranean (1840-1841). In 1858 the ship was converted to serve as a guardship, and finally sold out of the navy in 1908.

This is a jacketed copy of the first edition, first printing in the scarce first printing variant binding. The treble attributes of superlative condition, variant binding, and provenance render this copy a prize. Thoughts and Adventures is Churchill's collection of 23 engaging essays on an incredibly wide variety of subjects. It has been called "The broadest range of Churchill's thought between two hard covers" and reflects the two qualities that so characterize Churchill's life - a remarkable breadth of both mind and life experience. The first edition, first printing is typically found in a coarse, khaki colored cloth unique to the first printing. It is this very copy that allowed Cohen to observe in his bibliography copies

London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1910. First edition, only printing, the Sheffield Independent binding. Paperback. This may be the sole surviving copy of the first edition variant binding of this early collection of Churchill's speeches. This book is from the personal collection of Churchill's bibliographer, Ronald I. Cohen and is the same copy used to identify entry A31.5 (Vol. I, p.180) in his authoritative Bibliography of the Writings of Sir Winston S. Churchill. Neither we nor Ron have ever encountered or heard of another copy. The People's Rights was most commonly issued in an exceptionally perishable form, in vividly hued, thin, yellow-orange paper wraps with a striking halftone photo of Churchill on the cover, and contents printed on cheap, pulp paper. Consequently, few copies survive, and significant wear, losses, and general deterioration are common to those copies that endure. In addition to the normal wraps copies, some were issued in partnership with various regional newspapers. There…
