Churchill Winston
A HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING PEOPLES
London: Cassell and Co 1956 57 58. 4 volumes. First edition of each volume. With numerous maps throughout. 8vo publisher's original crimson cloth lettered in gilt on the spines in bright original pictorial dustjackets. xxi 395; xi 325; xi 312; xi 304. Index in each volume. A very clean and very bright set the books handsome and fine but for the most trivial evidence of age the jackets bright and fresh occasionally with some very minor evidence of age or use. AN IMPORTANT SET OF FIRST EDITIONS. By the beginning of World War II Churchill had already penned half a million words of this manuscript. Lying dormant through almost six years of war followed by an even longer period in which Churchill wrote his war memoirs this work finally was brought to fruition in 1956.<br> The first two volumes of this set were published in April and November 1956 respectively the third in October 1957 and the last in March 1958. Whereas the first two volumes sold briskly the final two were less successful and were not reprinted for years.<br> Sir Winston Churchill ranks among the greatest men of history. He was born in 1874 a descendent of the great Duke of Marlborough. After an education at Harrow and Sandhurst he entered the army in 1895 and embarked on one of the most varied and distinguished careers of the century. He acted as a correspondent for the Morning Post during the Boer War and his dramatic escape from prison in Pretoria brought him to public attention. He embarked on his political career in 1900 by entering Parliament. While there he held many major offices of state: Home Secretary Secretary of State for War First Lord of the Admiralty in which he oversaw naval operations for the First World War Colonial Secretary Chancellor of the Exchequer and eventually in 1940 Prime Minister. The latter office he would hold throughout World War Two and again from 1951 to 1955.<br> He was a prolific writer always submerged in simultaneous multi-facted projects. He finished both A HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING PEOPLES and his other great multi-volume work THE SECOND WORLD WAR during the same period as he was perfecting his style of painting and writing PAINTING AS A PASTIME. His death in 1965 sent the whole world into mourning and his funeral was on of the most moving public events of the century. Cassell and Co hardcover

Octavo original gilt-stamped red cloth. $2200.First edition of this collection of 21 reformist speeches by the Member of Parliament and future Prime Minister in original cloth.""That a young radical Churchill was once held the scourge of the British Establishment and a traitor to his class is largely forgotten by those who think of him only in the modern or at least the Second World War context. Yet by 1909 when his third book of speeches was published Churchill was an ardent reformer the bane of Torydom
and ally among the Young Turks of the Liberal Party in their assault on the privileges of the House of Lords their championing of the earliest forms of welfare legislation and their campaign for Home Rule in Ireland
"" Liberalism and the Social Problem ranks among the most important Churchill speech volumes"" Langworth 90-92. Liberalism and the Social Problem ""addresses itself to three important topics of the time: the speeches of 1906-1908 deal mainly with the settlement in South Africa and the vindication of free trade; those of 1908-1909 project various social reforms and attack the Conservatives the rich vested interests and the land speculators; the last group of speeches defends Lloyd George's radical 'People's Budget' of 1909 and assails the House of Lords in the constitutional crisis between the two houses which the budget caused"" Weidhorn Sword and Pen.

London: Cassell and Co 1948-54. 6 volumes. First Editions.

A very well preserved and handsome set of the first editions with bindings in excellent order and dustjackets in nice condition with light mellowing to a few of the volumes and a bit more rubbing to the tips of Vol. II than to the others. Still a pleasing set in the original dustjackets. NOBEL PRIZE WINNING FIRST EDITION. Upon hearing that President Roosevelt sought suggestions about what the war should be called Churchill replied “The Unnecessary War.†According to Churchill “There never was a war more easy to stop than that which has just wrecked what was left of the world from the previous struggle.†<br> Churchill’s heartfelt opinion is reflected in the theme of the first volume “How the English-speaking peoples through their unwisdom carelessness and good nature allowed the wicked to rearm.â€<br> Sir Winston Churchill ranks among the greatest men of history. He was born in 1874 a descendent of the great Duke of Marlborough. After an education at Harrow and Sandhurst he entered the army in 1895 and embarked on one of the most varied and distinguished careers of the century. He acted as a correspondent for the Morning Post during the Boer War and his dramatic escape from prison in Pretoria brought him to public attention. He embarked on his political career in 1900 by entering Parliament. While there he held many major offices of state: Home Secretary Secretary of State for War First Lord of the Admiralty in which he oversaw naval operations for the First World War Colonial Secretary Chancellor of the Exchequer and eventually in 1940 Prime Minister. The latter office he would hold throughout World War Two and again from 1951 to 1955.<br> It is unquestionably his office of Prime Minister during the Second World War for which he is best remembered. His powerful leadership and inspiring oratory held his nation and the free world together throughout the horrors of that conflict.<br> He was a prolific writer as this 6 volume set will attest and in 1953 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in spite of the fact that the work was not yet published in full. In that same year he was distinguished further by being made Knight of the Garter by Queen Elizabeth II. These volumes were written and published over the course of seven years. Always submerged in multiple projects he also finished his ‘History of the English Speaking Peoples’ and perfected his style of painting and wrote ‘Painting as a Pastime’ during this same time period. His death in 1965 sent the whole world into mourning and his funeral was one of the most moving public events of the century. Cassell and Co hardcover

His powerful leadership and inspiring oratory held his nation and the free world together throughout the horrors of that conflict.<br> He was a prolific writer as this 6 volume set will attest and in 1953 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in spite of the fact that the work was not yet published in full. In that same year he was distinguished further by being made Knight of the Garter by Queen Elizabeth II. These volumes were written and published over the course of seven years. Always submerged in multiple projects he also finished his ‘History of the English Speaking Peoples’ and perfected his style of painting and wrote ‘Painting as a Pastime’ during this same time period. His death in 1965 sent the whole world into mourning and his funeral was one of the most moving public events of the century. Cassell and Co hardcover

An extremely fine copy all tissue guards present maps and sketches all in especially fine condition the cloth as pristine and about as fine and clean as one could hope to find. THE FIRST EDITION AND AN EXTREMELY FINE AND CLEAN COPY OF THIS INCREASINGLY HARD TO FIND WORK. The first book written by Winston Churchill who would one day be not only a prolific and prize winning author but one of the greatest figures in modern history. After an education at Harrow and Sandhurst he entered the army in 1895 and embarked on one of the most varied and distinguished careers of the 20th century. He acted as a correspondent for The Daily Telegraph from India and for the Morning Post during the Boer War. His dramatic escape from prison in Pretoria brought him to public attention. He embarked on his political career in 1900 by entering Parliament. While there he held many major offices of state: Home Secretary Secretary of State for War First Lord of the Admiralty in which he oversaw naval operations for the First World War Colonial Secretary Chancellor of the Exchequer and eventually in 1940 Prime Minister. The latter office he would hold throughout World War Two and again from 1951 to 1955.<br> Early in this illustrious life in 1897 the Daily Telegraph paid Churchill Å5 per column for his dispatches from the Northwest Frontier in India where he first saw action as a soldier and after his return he fashioned these articles into the book here offered. It was the author's first book and only 2000 copies were printed; it is of course now very difficult to find especially in such fine condition. Longmans, Green and Co hardcover

Churchill. The bulk of Churchill's speeches between late 1945 when he was voted out of the office of Prime Minister and became the leader of the opposition party in Parliament through his second premiership of 1951-1955 up to 1959 when he gave his last public speech make up the post-war speeches. Toward the end of the Second World War and after Churchill increasingly advocated that Europe enter the approaching Cold War era as a united and resolute voice. The speeches included in these volumes trace the development of Churchill's call for European unity through the abatement of socialist party power in Britain's parliament the start of the Korean War rising tensions in the Middle East and the establishment of NATO.

The letter begins "My dear Rate" and is followed by seven sentences 31 lines and signed "Sincerely yours Winston Churchill." He has written "Wednesday" in the lower left corner beneath his signature but it is not dated. It is a friendly letter opening with pleasantries about Rate and another person named possibly Sandor.
