LEES-MILNE JamesMareMagnum

Diaries. [Complete set of first editions in dustwrappers.]. THE CELEBRATED DIARIES COMPLETE IN DUSTWRAPPERS

197512 vols., 8vo., First Edition, with portrait frontispieces, the first three volumes with pictorial endpapers, a few tops lightly spotted; cloth, gilt backs, a near fine set in dustwrapper. With their titles borrowed cheekily from Coleridge's 'Kubla Khan', Lees-Milne's diaries are widely recognised as one of the foremost continuous chronicles of England in the twentieth century. The twelve volumes cover the years 1942 to 1997, terminating only shortly before his death. The series as a whole passed through three publishers, the first three volumes by Chatto & Windus, the fourth by Faber (with characteristically non-uniform dustwrapper) and subsequent volumes (unsurprisingly) by John Murray. From 2001 onwards the diaries are edited by Michael Bloch. The series comprises 'Ancestral Voices. [Diaries 1942-1943]' (1975); 'Prophesying Peace: [Diaries 1944-1945]' (1977); 'Caves of Ice. [Diaries 1946-1947]' (1983); 'Midway on the Waves. [Diaries 1948-49]' (1985); 'A Mingled Measure. Diaries 1953-1972' (1994); 'Ancient as the Hills. Diaries 1973-1974' (1997); 'Through Wood and Dale. Diaries 1975-1978' (1998); 'Deep Romantic Chasm. Dairies 1979-1981' (2000); 'Holy Dread. Diaries 1982-1984' (2001); 'Beneath a Waning Moon. Diaries 1985-1987' (2003); 'Ceaseless Turnoil. Diaries 1988-1992 (2004); 'The Milk of Paradise. Diaries 1993-1997' (2005). A SPLENDID SET, RARE IN THIS CONDITION. The earlier volumes are very scarce and all are becoming difficult. It will be hard to rebuild a similar set at this price level.

SCOTT Robert FalconMareMagnum

The Diaries of Captain Robert Scott. A Record of the Second Antarctic Expedition 1910-1912. [With an Introduction by Peter Scott]. ' DO NOT THINK I CAN WRITE MORE'. SOLE EDITION IN FACSIMILE

1968SOLE EDITION IN FACSIMILE OF SCOTT'S ENTIRE EXPEDITION DIARY FROM OCTOBER 1910 TO MARCH 1912. 'A story to stir the hearts of every Englishman'; thus Winston S. Churchill characterised the immortal story of Scott, Wilson, Oates, Bowers and Evans. 'The story of the journey back to their Base Camp on McMurdo Sound has become a legend. Their courage was magnificently exemplified by Oates who walked out into the blizzard, never to be seen again, in order to give the others a chance. Being able to read the story in the handwriting of the man who wrote it makes the legend substantially more real and compelling'. (Peter Scott, son of the explorer). Published with the close involvement of the British Museum Library (now the British Library), where all the original dairies are now held on behalf of the nation, this high-quality facsimile includes the expedition's Base Diaries, its Sledging Orders and Diaries together with the legendary South Polar Times (complete with all its illustrations).
