1901rif. 009002London: Macmillan and Co. Ltd. 1901. First edition. Hardcover. This is the first English edition of Kim considered to be Kiplings greatest work and the finest novel about the India of the British Empire. Bound in red cloth with a gilt circular elephant vignette on the front cover and gilt spine lettering it is illustrated with ten photographic plates of clay reliefs including the frontispiece by the author's father John Lockwood Kipling. This copy is in very good plus condition clean and bright. The original red cloth binding is square tight and retains deep unfaded color with no color shift between the covers and spine bright gilt and only faint trivial blemishes. Wear is minimal including gently bruised lower corners a faint dent to the center fore edges and wrinkling at the spine ends. The contents are bright and all illustrated plates are present. We find no previous owner marks. Spotting is primarily confined to the endpapers the frontispiece the facing title page and the intact tissue guard between them. The gilt top edges remain uniformly bright. The fore and bottom edges show mild age-toning. The lovely binding is protected beneath a clear removable mylar cover. Among Kiplings tales of India perhaps none eclipses his masterpiece Kim. This is the story of Kimball OHara an Irish orphan who goes from begging on the streets of Lahore to being a spy for the British simultaneously taking a spiritual journey that conflicts with his new obligations to the Empire. Kims context is the Great Game that pitted Russia against Britain for control of the subcontinent in the wake of the Second Afghan War 1878-1880. Kiplings career as a journalist afforded him travel to the major cities of India a breadth of geographic experience with the subcontinent that informs the sweeping settings of Kim. The British first edition of Kim published the same month as its U.S. first edition counterpart followed serialization in the United States in McClures Magazine from December 1900 through October 1901 and in Britain in Cassells Magazine from January through November 1901. Chosen by the New York Public Library as one of its books of the century Kim was Kiplings final book about India and was called magical upon publication. When the orphaned Kimball OHara joins a Buddhist lama in his search for the River of Healing the reader not only beholds a kaleidoscope of people and settings through Kims eyes but also feels the native social and spiritual currents of India moving beneath the political veneer of imperial ambitions and authority. Bengali critic Niraud Chaudhuri called Kim the finest novel in the English language dealing with an Indian theme. Kim was also included in the Modern Librarys list of the 100 best English-language books of the 20th century. Joseph Rudyard Kipling 1865-1936 was an English poet short-story writer and novelist chiefly remembered for his celebration of British imperialism stories and poems of British India and his tales for children. Despite this reputation Kiplings extraordinary body of work eludes all labels in its range and variety Kipling's work is not only of the highest artistic excellence it is deeply humane and fully expresses the sense of one of his favourite texts: Praised be Allah for the diversity of his creatures. Kipling was in his twenties when his stories of Anglo-Indian life made him a literary celebrity and he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1907. Kipling was the first English language author awarded and remains the youngest person to receive the Prize. References: Richards A174; ODNB Books of the Century Macmillan and Co., Ltd. hardcover
1895rif. 009010New York: G. W. Dillingham Publisher Successor to G. W. Carleton & Co. 1895. First American edition unauthorized. Hardcover. This is the first and unauthorized American edition. The volume collects notably without Kiplings permission his newspaper travel sketches and letters originally published in 1891s Letters of Marque and The City of Dreadful Night and Other Places. This is an unequivocally handsome piracy bound in linen cloth strikingly illustrated on both the front cover and spine. The elaborate front cover illustration features a cartouche in gold with outlines of two pairs of birds within dark green capital above a column-like dark green rectangle with gold ray-like lines with reverse cut title lettering OUT OF INDIA amid swirls of smoke in dark yellowish brown rising from a gold censer and framed on left and right with profiles of tusked elephants in dark green on each side of gold lettering RUDYARD KIPLING. The no-less elaborate spine features the title and author in gilt print above a dark green shield faced with a gold tiger head before two crossed rifles in dark yellowish brown with dark yellowish brown smoke rising upward from a gold fire above dark green crossed logs. The book was issued in two distinctly different hues of linen cloth boards a light yellowish brown and a "grayish yellowish green - with no precedence assigned to either variant. This is the light yellowish brown binding in very good condition. The illustrated cloth binding is lovely - surprisingly clean and bright with no apparent color shift between the covers and spine sharp corners the spine ends almost unwrinkled and only a few trivial blemishes and a touch of shelf wear to the bottom edges. We would grade this book as near fine if not for a cosmetic split to the gutter at the front endpapers exposing the intact mull beneath and not affecting binding integrity. The sole previous ownership mark appears to be contemporary a name and city inked on the front free endpaper recto and dated "1895". The contents are bright and retain a crisp feel. We find no spotting. The text block edges are uniformly age toned and the endpapers show minor browning from the pastedown glue. The publication of this volume the first American edition of the newspaper travel sketches and letters which had originally been collected without Kiplings authority in the 1891 A. H. Wheeler & Co. Indian editions of Letters of Marque and The City of Dreadful Night and Other Places mightily irked Kipling who sent the same letter text on 3 November 1895 to The Nation The Critic and the New York Tribune denying his knowledge or sanction of the book. The contents are the same as Letters of Marque and The City of Dreadful Night and Other Places without those titles with the chapter headings of the former changed and given the master divisional title Part First while The City of Dreadful Night is headed Part Second' Among the Railway Folk is headed Part Third' and The Giridih Coal Fields and In an Opium Factory are joined together as Part Fourth.

1914rif. 009008London: Macmillan and Co. Limited 1914. First English separate edition pamphlet issue. Pamphlet. This is the pamphlet issue of the British first stand-alone publication of Kiplings most famous poem IF- published the first month of the First World War. These are scarce on the market rendering mere survival noteworthy. This copy is in very good condition. The gray card covers remain complete and firmly attached to the contents. There is a contemporary owner name initials and an indecipherable surname inked at the upper right front cover corner just above the double-ruled border. The covers show lightly toned extremities the front cover shows some small spots and moderate soiling and the fore edge corners are lightly bumped. The contents are clean with a touch of trivial spotting. IF- was first published in October 1910 in Rewards and Fairies Kiplings collection of eleven stories and twenty-three poems that was a continuation of the Puck stories first told in 1906s Puck of Pooks Hill. To capitalize on the immediate and immense popularity of IF- the publisher of the American edition of Rewards and Fairies Doubleday Page & Company swiftly followed with a separate publication in 1910. This British edition followed in 1914. There were two issues of this first separate British edition. Macmillan published IF- in July 1914 as both a leaflet and a pamphlet bound in card stock of various shades of gray or brown measuring 16.2 x 11.4 cm lettered and ruled in deep purplish-red. In this pamphlet issue the front cover served as the title page and the text was printed on both sides of two paginated leaves with COPYRIGHT" at the foot of p.4 and advertisements for Kiplings works on the recto and verso of the back cover. Kiplings bibliographer notes three printings of this pamphlet issue the second in September 1914 and third in August 1915 noting that for later issues the year at the bottom of the front cover changes. Although the poem was not collected and published until 1910 inspiration for the poem occurred 15 years earlier in the person of Leander Starr Jameson 1853-1917 leader of the failed Jameson Raid of that year against the Boer Republic of Transvaal that helped precipitate the Second Anglo-Boer War. Despite the fiasco much of the British public treated Jameson as a dashing hero Kipling admired him greatly and in his autobiography Something of Myself Kipling said that "If" was drawn from Jameson's character. The character flaws of the poems muse are an irony. The poems association with the collective anonymized slaughter of the First World War is another. It seems hardly coincidental that this first separate British edition was issued during the first month of the First World War. Indeed a later 1916 edition of the poem was produced in an edition of 30000 as a Xmas and New Year card from the Ladies Buffet staff to the soldiers embarking for the front through Waterloo Station; Kipling waived his royalty cutting the reprint cost. The poems enshrinement of firmness of character and temperament in the face of adversity became inextricably linked to the patriotic offering and sacrifice of so many British sons to the inglorious trenches of the First World War. The association was undoubtedly difficult for Kipling. Fourteen months after this copy of IF- was published Kipling lost his own and only son to the war. John Kipling who had been commissioned in the Irish Guards at the outset of the war had gone to France in August 1915; in September a month after his eighteenth birthday he was reported wounded and missing in the battle of Loos. His body was never found in Kipling's lifetime: the grave was identified in 1992. John's death coincided with the onset of Kipling's suffering from the undiagnosed duodenal ulcer that tormented the last twenty years of his life and that at last killed him. None of the ironies attendant to the poems inspiration and application diminish its beautifully lyrical and enduringly compelling exhortations.

This is the grayish yellowish green binding in very good condition. The binding is square tight clean and sharp-cornered. Trivial shelf wear appears confined to the spine ends. The only reportable defect is spine toning despite which the gilt print and illustration remain clearly legible and shelf presentation remains respectable. The contents are crisp with no spotting and no previous ownership marks. The book feels unread. Age-toning is modest within more noticeable to the otherwise clean text block edges.
