BELL] [D.H.
A Soldier's Diary of the Great War. With an Introduction by Henry Williamson.
8vo., First Edition, on laid paper, some very light occasional spotting; original red cloth, gilt back, a very good, clean copy. A minor classic of WWI literature. 'The author of this diary [Captain D H Bell] was a serving territorial when war broke out and was in France with his Battalion by November. He got a commission in 1915, was twice wounded, transferred in 1916 to the Royal Flying Corps, 'crashed' in France and finished he service as a Flight Commander training observers at home. His diary is one of the most vivid that has appeared, and shows its writer to be a gallant and likeable character. Mr. Henry Williamson contributes an introduction, so different in spirit to the journal that an introduction from him seems hardly worth while from the anonymous author's point of view' (Falls). Williamson also prepared the text for publication dated 28 December 1929. Williamson's introduction was reprinted in 'Threnos for T E Lawrence', published by the HW Society in 1994. Falls, p.176; Matthews, B1929.

Private Memoirs, which, with the Work of M. Hue, and the Journal of Clery, complete the History of the Captivity of the Royal Family of France in the Temple. Translated from the French, with Notes. [First English Edition.] RARE ACCOUNT OF THE 'TERROR' IN ENGLISH
Sm. 8vo., First Edition thus, small age-mark on half-title verso; contemporary half calf, marbled boards, back ruled in gilt, second compartment with red leather label lettered in gilt, all other compartments tooled in gilt with a floral motif, joints cracked (but hinges and binding entirely sound), a most attractive and remarkably crisp, clean copy. Complete with half-title, and 6pp publisher's catalogue (dated February 1817) bound in at end. RARE. We have seen this edition confused with a very similar but shorter (and apparently less elusive) version of Angouleme's memoirs published by Constable in Edinburgh later the same year. NICE COPY OF A KEY DOCUMENTARY RECORD IN THE HISTORY OF FRANCE, THE REVOLUTION AND THE TERROR, AND AFTER CLERY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT CONTEMPORARY ACCOUNTS OF THE IMPRISONMENT OF LOUIS XVI.
