New York: Harcourt Brace and Company 1946. Printed wrappers. Publication information and date stamped on front wrapper. The upper wrapper has a large and disagreeable splashy coffee cup ringmark that is shadowed through the first blank and faintly on the half- title so just a fair copy in all other regards sound and very good. Advance "confidential" reading copy of the first American edition. The number of recipients who shared in the "confidentiality" of receiving copies is not readily accessible but experience suggests there were quite a significant number of them.

Orwell George
Burmese Days
New York: Harper and Brothers 1934 First edition first printing. One of 2000 copies. Publisher's red-orange cloth lettered in black pictorial pale yellow floral endpapers; in the original yellow dust jacket lettered in black and red-orange. Book about fine with only a hint of wear to the extremities else bright and clean; price-clipped dust jacket with some wear and chipping to the extremities minor toning to the spine a hint of light soiling to the otherwise fresh panels. Overall a near fine and very attractive copy of this extremely scarce title very rare in the dust jacket. This first American edition of Burmese Days is the true first printing of Orwell's second work and first novel. Victor Gollancz initially rejected the controversial novel but agreed to publish the first British edition in 1935 after the success of the American edition and making several edits to the text. Notably Orwell would later call the Gollancz edition "garbled" and when Penguin prepared its first edition in 1940 he insisted that the publishers use the American text rather than the English. An extremely scarce title in any condition this copy of Burmese Days is especially rare because of its excellent condition and lack of any repairs or restoration. Based on Orwell's experiences serving in the Indian Imperial Police in Burma from 1922-1927 Burmese Days is set in colonial Burma that the publisher's tout as a "cynical sometimes brutal answer to the Rudyard Kipling 'white man's burden' school of novelists - a caustic portrait of the white man in the East as he really is." Specifically it tells the story of the conflicted timber merchant John Flory who struggles to reconcile his belief in British superior with his appreciation of the Burmese people and culture. Interestingly while English publishers Victor Gollancz Jonathan Cape and William Heinemann all declined to publish Burmese Days for fear of a libel suit from officers in the British colonies American publisher Harper & Brothers flaunted the novel' controversial subject matter. Indeed as the dust jacket boldly proclaims on the front panel "If the prophet is unsung in his own country the truth-teller also is rarely welcome in his home town.". 1st Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Dust Jacket Included. New York: Harper and Brothers hardcover books

Orwell George
Burmese Days.
New York: Harper & Brothers 1934. First American edition and true first preceding the British edition by one year of Orwell's first novel. Octavo original cloth. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the verso of the front free endpaper to Mabel Fierz "With very best wishes from Eric Blair." It was Mabel Fierz who introduced Orwell to Leonard Moore who would later become his literary agent after salvaging the manuscript for Down and Out from the writer's discarded papers. After first meeting Orwell in Southwold Suffolk Mabel and her husband Francis became close friends with the writer and often invited him to stay at their house in Golders Green. On one such occasion Orwell gave Mabel the manuscript which had just been rejected by Faber and telling her to save only the paperclips said she should throw it away. Instead she took it in person to Moore who in turn took it to Gollancz. In gratitude thereafter Orwell presented Mabel with signed copies of all his published works. Mabel Fierz authorial inscription typed letter signed by Mabel's son Adrian Fierz loosely inserted. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Burmese Days was several years in the writing. Orwell was drafting it in Paris during the time he spent there from 1928 to 1929. He was still working on it in 1932 at Southwold while doing up the family home in the summer holidays. By December 1933 he had typed the final version and in 1934 he delivered it to his agent Leonard Moore for publication by Victor Gollancz who had published his previous book. Gollancz smarting from fears of prosecution from another author's work turned it down because he was worried about charges of libel. Heinemann and Cape turned it down for the same reasons. After demanding alterations Harpers were prepared to publish it in the United States where it made its debut in 1934. In the spring of 1935 Gollancz declared that he was prepared to publish Burmese Days provided that Orwell was able to demonstrate it was not based on real people. Extensive checks were made in colonial lists that no British individuals could be confused with the characters. Many of the main European names have since been identified in the Rangoon Gazette and U Po Kyin was the name of a Burmese officer with him at the Police Training School in Mandalay. Gollancz brought out the English version on 24 June 1935. Harpers brought out Burmese Days in the US on 25 October 1934 in an edition of 2000 copies. In February 1935 just four months after publication 976 copies were remaindered. The only American review that Orwell himself saw in the New York Herald Tribune by Margaret Carson Hubbard was unfavourable: "The ghastly vulgarity of the third-rate characters who endure the heat and talk ad nausea of the glorious days of the British Raj when fifteen lashes settled any native insolence is such that they kill all interest in their doings." A positive review however came from an anonymous writer in the Boston Evening Transcript for whom the central figure was "analyzed with rare insight and unprejudiced if inexorable justice" and the book itself praised as full of "realities faithfully and unflinchingly realised." On its publication in Britain Burmese Days earned a review in the New Statesman from Cyril Connolly as follows: "Burmese Days is an admirable novel. It is a crisp fierce and almost boisterous attack on the Anglo-Indian. The author loves Burma he goes to great length to describe the vices of the Burmese and the horror of the climate but he loves it and nothing can palliate for him the presence of a handful of inefficient complacent public school types who make their living there. I liked it and recommend it to anyone who enjoys a spate of efficient indignation graphic description excellent narrative excitement and irony tempered with vitriol." Orwell received a letter from the anthropologist Geoffrey Gorer as follows "Will you allow me to tell you how very much indeed I admire your novel Burmese Days: it seems to me an absolutely admirable statement of fact told as vividly and with as little bitterness as possible." It was as a result of these responses that Orwell renewed his friendship with Connolly which was to give him useful literary connections a positive evaluation in Enemies of Promise and an outlet on Horizon. He also became a close friend of Gorer. In 2013 the Burmese Ministry of Information named the new translation by Maung Myint Kywe of Burmese Days the winner of the 2012 Burma National Literature Award's "informative literature" translation category. The National Literary Awards are the highest literary awards in Burma. Harper & Brothers hardcover books

Critical Essays.
London: Secker and Warburg 1946. First edition of Orwell's essential collection of literary criticism. Octavo original cloth. Near fine in a very good dust jacket with some rubbing to the extremities. Uncommon in the original dust jacket. In these essays Orwell applies to writers as diverse as Dickens Kipling Frank Richards and P. G. Wodehouse a new method of critical analysis. The essays are not political tracts their main emphasis is literary but they open with the assumption that every writer is in some sense a propagandist and that subject-matter imagery even tricks of style are governed by the "message" that the writer is attempting to put across.

JAMES BURNHAM AND THE MANAGERIAL REVOLUTION
Berkeley California: Berkeley Young Socialist League 1955. Wraps. Very good. Likely the first separate American printing of this essay which was first published in the May 1946 issue of Polemic. In this critical discussion Orwell born Eric Arthur Blair 1903-50 acknowledges that the general drift has "almost certainly been towards oligarchy" and "an increasing concentration of industrial and financial power" but criticizes the tendency of Burnham's "power-worship" and comments upon the failures in analysis that arise from it. As biographer Michael Shelden observed "Orwell was always at his best when he was on the attack and his Polemic essay on Burnham is a brilliant criticism of the whole concept of power worship." Preceded by publisher's remarks by James Robertson of the Berkeley Young Socialist League the influential leftist campus group. The recto of the rear wrapper includes the YSL Statement of Principles along with a mailing form with the organization's Berkeley and New York addresses. Mimeographed 2 15 p. Original mimeographed blue paper wrappers 8 ½" x 11" bound with staples. Some general toning to the wrappers with offsetting to the rear panel; else very good.

Any criticism of the government is strictly illegal and independent thought is persecuted as a "thoughtcrime." Even the newly adopted language "newspeak" which abbreviates many phrases and eliminates words deemed inessential served "not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view" of the new totalitarian regime but also "to make all other modes of thought impossible
. that is a thought diverging from the state approved principles
should literally be unthinkable in so far as though is dependent on words." This first British edition was published five days before the first American edition. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Dust Jacket Included. London: Secker & Warburg hardcover books

As Davison notes in his introduction: “This facsimile reproduces all that is known to have survived of the preliminary drafts of Nineteen Eighty-Four that is about 44% of the published text of the novel.†Furthermore he writes: “Despite all the rewriting revealed by this facsimile it is remarkable how closely what has survived adheres to the main sweep of the narrative of Nineteen Eighty-Four. All the principle features except the Appendix on Newspeak are present suggesting that the story had been pretty fully formed in Orwell’s mind by the time he sat down to write it out. What can now be seen for the first time is in Sonia Orwell’s words her husband’s ‘actual working methods’. These are a compelling demonstration of the way Orwell fashioned and refashioned his story perfecting language and thought in order to create one of the most remarkable novels of the twentieth century.†The preface by bookseller rare book collector and ABAA member Daniel Siegel details not only how the manuscript came to be his but offers insight into the art and craft of literary serendipity and is a delight to read. He tells the story of his relationship with the Orwell manuscript beginning with how in late spring of 1969 Harold Graves of Scribner’s rare book department in New York introduced him to the piece about which Siegel notes “The leaves Harold showed me were nondescript handwritten in ink or typed with a great deal of overwriting on the typed pages. Much seemed illegible.†Siegel was obviously intrigued by the manuscript but walked away without it. However as kismet would have it on the following day he telephoned Graves with the news that“It’s a great manuscript and I don’t know why I shouldn’t have it.†And so he did. Eventually Siegel donated the Nineteen Eighty-Four manuscript to Brown University. M & S Press hardcover books
