NAVAL INTELLIGENCE DIVISION
Belgium. February 1944. [Publication Code] BR 521 (Restricted).
8vo., First Edition, with plates, numerous maps and diagrams (a number folding), and large folding coloured map in pocket at end; original brown cloth gilt, gilt back, a remarkably well-preserved bright, clean copy. Sold from an institution with its bookplate on front free endpaper. 'This book is for the Use of persons in HM Service only and must now be shown, or made available, to the Press or to any member of the Public'. The Geographical Handbook Series was produced during WWII to provide RN officers with a ready source of comprehensive and detailed information on countries in which they were called upon to serve. The several volumes, all now elusive, remain a valuable archive of geographical, cultural and statistical data. Very scarce, especially in this condition.

DUNN Captain J. C.

This important work, to which Sassoon was a primary contributor, was first published privately in 1938 (see Keynes B16). Sassoon's main contribution, 'A Subaltern's Service in Camp and Action (12 March to 1 April 1917)', stands as Chapter XII where it is here retitled 'A Chapter in a Subaltern's Life (March 12th to April 16th 1917)'. The account was written early in 1926 and except for his diaries of 1918, was the first prose Sassoon wrote about the war. It was afterwards expanded in 'Memoirs of an Infantry Officer' (1930) as pp. 190-237 (see Keynes A33). THIS EDITION IS NOW UNCOMMON IN ITS OWN RIGHT. Not recorded by Enser.

TIZZANI Vincent
Voyage en France
In 16, pp. 83 + (1). Br. rifatta. Racconto del viaggio in Francia di questo prelato (1809 - 1892). Dal 1850 al 1914, sono pubblicate una trentina di importanti testimonianze italiane su Parigi. I viaggiatori italiani in Francia (Giovanni Rajberti, Giambattista Casoni, i romanzieri e i poeti Edmondo De Amicis, Giovanni Faldella, Fernando Fontana, Carlo Del Balzo, Ferdinando Martini, Antonio Fogazzaro, Matilde Serao...) si recano perlopiu' nella capitale, trascurando la province, manifestando un disinteresse dal quale si salva parzialmente la Costa Azzurra. Nonostante i titoli di 'La Francia' o 'I Francesi', le memorie degli Italiani sono incentrate su Parigi. Tizzani, prima di parlare della capitale, si sofferma tuttavia su Marsiglia, e successivamente con brevi cenni sul Belgio, i confini del Reno e la Svizzera.
