Sassoon, Siegfried
Memoirs of an Infantry Officer
NY: The Limited Editions Club. Near Fine with No dust jacket as issued. 1981. Limited Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. Limited edition this is No. 995 of 2000 copies. Publisher's full beige linen cloth with and embossed black bugle on the front cover black lettering on the spine black endpapers. Illustrated with color drawings by Paul Hogarth and signed by him. Limited to 2000 copies signed by the artist. Introduction by David Daiches. Siegfried Loraine Sassoon CBE MC 1886-1967 was an English poet writer and soldier. Decorated for bravery on the Western Front he became one of the leading poets of the First World War. His poetry both described the horrors of the trenches and satirised the patriotic pretensions of those who in Sassoon's view were responsible for a jingoism-fuelled war. Sassoon became a focal point for dissent within the armed forces when he made a lone protest against the continuation of the war in his "Soldier's Declaration" of 1917 culminating in his admission to a military psychiatric hospital; this resulted in his forming a friendship with Wilfred Owen who was greatly influenced by him. Sassoon later won acclaim for his prose work notably his three-volume fictionalised autobiography collectively known as the "Sherston trilogy". This volume Memoirs of an Infantry Officer is a novel by Sassoon first published in 1930. It is a fictionalized account of Sassoon's own life during and immediately after World War I. Soon after its release it was heralded as a classic and was even more successful than its predecessor Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man. .

Junius (pseud); [Sir Philip Francis?]
The Letters of Junius Two Volumes Complete
London: A. Hamilton. Good with No dust jacket as issued. 1792. First Edition Thus. First Printing. Leather. Two full leather volumes spines in six compartments separated by gilt borders and decoration gilt lettering on red labels in one compartment. Junius is the pseudonym of the still unidentified author of a series of letters contributed to Henry Sampson Woodfall's Public Advertiser a popular English newspaper of the day between January 21 1769 and January 21 1772. Junius' aims were to discredit the ministries of the Duke of Grafton and subsequently of Lord North and to draw attention to the political influence of George III who was trying to establish his own "personal government" by selecting his ministers from a group of subservient friends. Junius used ferocious sarcasm in attacking the public and private lives of Grafton and his associates the Duke of Bedford the Earl of Bute and Lord Mansfield. Finally in his 35th letter he attacked King George himself causing a storm of indignation and prompting the government in 1770 to unsuccessfully prosecute the printer Woodfall for seditious libel for having printed the letter. Junius' views were those of a radical Whig and an ardent supporter of William Pitt Earl of Chatham who had been succeeded in office by Grafton in 1768. But Junius failed in his aims for the ineffectual Grafton's fall in 1770 merely signaled the advent of Lord North's ministry. Apart from their significance as a literary controversy and their importance in the history of the freedom of the press Junius' letters are notable for their style and the unsolved mystery of their authorship. They display little stylistic variety and their tone hardly ever changes from that of sustained personal invective and of bitter merciless sarcasm but the writing has a fine boldness and liveliness an urgency and blunt eloquence that still arrest the reader. Many attempts to discover Junius' identity have been made including claims for Sir Philip Francis the chief candidate; William Petty-Fitzmaurice 2nd Earl of Shelburne later 1st Marquess of Lansdowne; and Laughlin Macleane who was Shelburne's undersecretary. Some 45 other candidates have been proposed less convincingly. Current opinion favors Sir Philip Francis. Expertly refurbished former owner's name in an extremely elegent hand on each title page library bookplates on each fep and a number written in the lower margin of the first text page of each volume no other indications of library identification corners bumped and worn hinges strong pages supple both volumes appear unread. VERY GOOD. . Ex-Library. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. xxxiv 227; 259 37 pp . A. Hamilton hardcover
