About This Item
London: T. Fisher Unwin, Ltd., 1917. First Edition, First Printing. 8vo (8 3/8 x 5 1/2 inches; 214 x 140 mm), 15, [1] pages, in stapled green wrappers.
Text of an address by the Belgian poet and playwright Émile Cammaerts about the awfulness of the German occupation of Belgium during World War I. He spoke in London on February 18, 1917, at a meeting of the Fight for Right Movement, which supported Britain's role in World War I. "Germany has not succeeded in destroying the soul of Belgium, but she has succeeded, to some extent, in ruining her people," he says. "She has systematically requisitioned their harvests, their cattle, their raw material, and their machinery--in short, she has emptied the country of all that was in it, as a gang of robbers might empty a well-found house." (pages 10-11).
CONDITION: Some handling wear and creases, rusting to staples, evidence of dampstaining to corner of upper wrapper but otherwise clean and unmarked. About Very Good.
