Hitler's Whistle. FIRST EDITION IN UNCLIPPED DUSTWRAPPER
Eyre & Spottiswoode 1943. 8vo. First Edition with a frontispiece and 14 plates of photographs by Eric Guy small neat contemporary initials on front free endpaper fore-edges mottled; original green cloth backstrip lettered in brown covers lightly age-marked and faded at edges else a good bright clean copy in unclipped dustwrapper the latter lightly age-soiled and rubbed at edges. Arguably the scarcest of his wartime collections this important Street title is based on his week-by-week farming diary of the first three years of WWII. Prior to the outbreak of war Street had been primarily a writer and broadcaster; this account of his return to the land gives much fascinating detail on the farming practices of the period. The 'whistle' of the title refers to an air-raid siren. This scarce work is rarely found in really good condition due to stringent wartime production standards. Any dustwrapper is a real bonus. Enser p.74. Eyre & Spottiswoode, hardcover

pp. 196, (1) [Subscription promotion] + (3) [Publisher's advertisement and catalogue] + Engraved portrait frontis of John Howard engraved by Thackara & Vallance, Philadelphia, 1794, signed in plate. Original paper guard for frontis. Age stain. Handsome manuscript ownership of Edward Dowers, January 1796 on verso of frontis. Subscribers' names pages 187-197. 12mo. 17 mm. Original full leather binding, worn. Corners rubbed with loss. Front board fragile. Spine rubbed and worn. Remnants of original leather spine label. Hardbound. Good. John Howard (1726-1790) was a philanthropist and the first English prison reformer. 'His detailed proposals for improvements were designed to enhance the physical and mental health of the prisoners and the security and order of the prison. His recommendations pertaining to such matters as the prison location, plan and furnishings, the provision of adequate water supply, and prisoner's diet promoted hygiene and physical health.' In 1777, Howard's sister died, leaving him L15,000 and her house. He used this inheritance and the revenue from the sale of her house to further his work on prisons. By 1784, Howard calculated that he had travelled over 42,000 miles visiting prisons. His crusade and personal example greatly influenced reformers in the U.K. and the U.S. Evans 26543. PALIB 6
