MUIRHEAD Findlay
The Blue Guides: North-Eastern France. North-Eastern France. Second Edition.
Sm. 8vo., Second Edition, with 4 folding coloured maps (one very large at rear), 28 double-page coloured maps, 4 full-page coloured maps, 9 full-page maps and numerous smaller maps in the text, and front and endpaper maps in red on yellow; original blue cloth, gilt back, marbled top, two 2ilk markers, backstrip mildly faded (but all gilt wholly legible), a very good, clean copy. Mounted on title verso is the separately printed slip confirming that the atlas-maps intended for this edition were destroyed by enemy action: 'It is impossible to replace them exactly for this edition; but the entire area is covered by the folding map at the end of the book'. Muirhead's Blue Guides are renowned for their immense assembly of factual information and finely detailed maps and plans. First issued in 1922 NE France includes a large section on the War Area, with maps of battle-lines and other such data. From the third impression, issued later in the same year, a particular feature was the inclusion of all general maps as an atlas at the end, but enemy action prevented this from the second edition onwards.

CLERY M.
A Journal of Occurrences at the Temple during the Confinement of Louis XVI, King of France. By M. Clery, the King's Valet-de-Chambre. Translated from the original Manuscript by R.C. Dallas. ['The Journal of the Terror']. ATTRACTIVE COPY

With the 16pp list of subscribers, which includes virtually every member of the Royal family extended to Prince William of Gloucester. This is the early issue with 'Bookselllers' in the publisher's imprint (see ESTCT110766). The plates depict the Temple tower, plans of the second and third floors and two facsimiles of Marie Antoinette's handwriting. Clery's family had been in the service of the French Royal Family since the time of Louis XIV. Together with his brother, he began his career with the Princesse de Guenenee, governess to the royal children, and became valet-de-chambre to the Duke of Normandy (later the Dauphin) in 1785. From 1789, he acted as valet to King Louis XVI and was permitted by Petion to continue to wait on the Royal Family during their imprisonment in the Temple. After the King's execution, Clery accompanied the Madame Royale (Marie-Therese de Bourbon) on her exile to Vienna where he continued to serve until his death. LOVELY COPY OF A KEY DOCUMENTARY RECORD IN THE HISTORY OF FRANCE, THE REVOLUTION AND THE TERROR, AND THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT CONTEMPORARY ACCOUNT OF THE IMPRISONMENT OF LOUIS XVI.

43RD (WESSEX) DIVISION
Service of Thanksgiving to God after the Campaign in North West Europe by the 43rd (Wessex) Division. 43RD (WESSEX) DIVISION. A RARE SURVIVAL
Sm. 4to., on laid paper; original printed wrappers, wire-stitched as issued, upper wrapper with divisional crest in yellow and black, lower wrapper with small unobtrusive stain in one corner, a remarkably clean, bright copy.

As part of Horrocks' 30 Corps, the division also took part in the headlong rush to Nijmegen in GARDEN. Locally printed, probably on a commissioned press, this humble pamphlet is nevertheless a moving tribute to one of the most famous British fighting units of WWII. A RARE SURVIVAL AND CONSIDERABLY MORE ELUSIVE THAN ITS SECOND ARMY COUNTERPART.
