A complete set of the true first editions of these five articles these American copyright issues being published simultaneously with the first newspaper publication in The Daily Telegraph and The New York Tribune. The articles were prompted by the British Ambassador to Rome asking Kipling to visit and write about the Italian front in the First World War finding it "maddening" that the British seemed to think that Italy was "not pulling her weight". The articles are: The Roads of an Army; Podgora; A Pass a King and a Mountain; Only a few steps higher up; and The Trentino Front. The Kipling Society website records that "anecdotal evidence claims that an Alpini general described it as one of the best accounts of alpine warfare ever written".

1916réf. BIBLIO-58769Doubleday Page & Company Garden City first editions 1916. Editions of 70 copies. 4 vols printed wrappers. A complete set of the true first editions of these four articles these American copyright issues preceding the newspaper publication in The Daily Telegraph and The New York Times in October 1916. Here the articles are simply titled Destroyers at Jutland I -IV; in the newspapers they were given titles as follows: Stories of the Battle"; The Night Hunt The Meaning of 'Joss' and The Minds of Men. Kipling's accounts are chiefly concerned with "destroyer actions on the 31st May and 1st June: mostly but not entirely of the confused night-fighting after the engagements between the two main battle-fleets" Alastair Wilson on the Kipling Society website. He opens: "THERE was much destroyer-work in the Battle of Jutland. The actual battle field may not have been more than twenty thousand square miles but the incidental patrols from first to last must have covered many times that area. Doubtless the next generation will comb out every detail of it. All we need remember is there were many squadrons of battleships and cruisers engaged over the face of the North Sea and that they were accompanied in their dread comings and goings by multitudes of destroyers who attacked the enemy both by day and by night from the afternoon of May 31 to the morning of June 1 1916." Three of the pamphlets contain one of Kipling's poems the first being the very poignant "Have you news of my boy Jack". Near Fine set in a chemise and somewhat worn leather-backed slipcase.

A handsome edition containing all that Tusser wrote including a few 'Sonnets' his 'Beliefe' - a metrical creed- 'Posies' for the several chambers of a house a rhymed account of his own life and translations from St. Augustine and St. Bernard. The great majority of these are from Hillmans 'Tusser Redivivus' of 1710 although the text of the 1580 edition has been carefully followed. They are rare and full of curious country lore explanatory of their author and his occasional obscurities. There is a very full glossary of archaic technical and dialect words in addition to copious notes on the text. Kipling prompted this new edition writing of Tusser that "In many ways he is as modem as to-morrowand his incidental verses .are extraordinarily good.What I like about him is that he does not seem to have made much of a success of his own job - whereby he came to know what he was writing about. He was so dead keen to impart his knowledge to his neighbours I dont think he ever thought much beyond his own county that he rammed his maxims into his metre with a sledge-hammer.

1923réf. BIBLIO-51288N.p. n.d Dover first edition 1923. Edition of 60 copies or fewer. Patterned wrappers 'Indian design' 8vo. 8 leaves. From David Richard's 'Rudyard Kipling : A Bibliography': "The complementary texts are those of a letter written to Kipling by local postmaster Francis Fatt and the authors answer originally appearing in the Medicine Hat News of 22 December 1910. deprecating a suggestion that the name of Medicine Hat in the province of Alberta Canada be changed to something less colorful. This pamphlet was printed and distributed as a New Years favor and greeting by George Parker Winship then the Assistant Librarian of Harvard College." Kipling robustly concludes his advice: "What then should a city be re-christened that has sold its name - Judasville". Winship's publication was not authorized by Kipling and the work was never collected by Kipling in any edition of his works somewhat reinforcing Winship's statement in his preface: "This little tract for the times is printed in order that certain gentlemen who are known to their intimate acquaintances as Kipling fans may possess a first separate edition which some of their rivals in the engrossing game of book collecting will not be able to buy."
