Aldershot: Printed by Gale & Polden 1933. First edition for "Private Circulation Only." A brief history of the United Services Proprietary College at Westward Ho! Kipling's preparatory school with a preface by his old roommate Major-General Lionel "Stalky" Dunsterville.

Also includes Kipling's July 25 1894 speech on the retirement of Headmaster Cornell Price which was first collected in KIPLING'S COLLEGE 1929. Illustrated with photographs including a few of Kipling. Blue cloth-covered flexible boards stamped in gilt on front only with school emblem "Fear God Honour the King" and "To Commemorate a Great School."

Title page with embossed library stamp of Robert Rutherford. Stewart 467. Joints and spine bands with just a hint of rubbing but A FINE LUXURIOUS COPY inside and out. This is a handsomely bound copy of the collected verse of Rudyard Kipling 1865-1936 Nobel Laureate and one of Britain's best-known writers noted especially for his works portraying life on the Indian subcontinent. He also produced nearly 500 poems written between 1895 and 1918 that reflect his adventurous life from his formative years in India to his reflections on the tragedies of the First World War. Written for the most part in an alternating rhyme scheme the poems are usually impassioned and occasionally droll most often depicting scenes of war or exotic adventure in various locations around the world. Whether we recognize the source most of us are familiar with many commonly used lines from Kipling's poetry like "You're a better man than I am Gunga Din" spoken by a British soldier honoring an Indian orderly who was killed in the line of duty. Our edition of "Verse" can be found in the marketplace but very seldom so decoratively bound or in the fine condition seen here. Doubleday, Page & Company unknown
