1916 The After-War Settlement & Employment of Ex-Service Men in the Overseas Dominions
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Uncommon
The uncommon first edition of this work.
Scott, 67. Whatmore notes that this is one of only 105 copies published in paper covered boards.
A military and sociological report by the eminent adventure writer H. Rider Haggard.
In this work, a report to The Royal Colonial Institute - now known as the Royal Commonwealth Society - Haggard provides a narrative of a visit to South Africa during which he observes the settlement and employment of ex soldiers.
Bibliographical analysis of this work notes that 'this slim volume belies the enormous amount of time and traveling devoted by Rider Haggard to finding the views of Dominion's officials and preparing the report'.
Condition
In the publisher's original paper covered boards. Slight fading to back strip, with bumping to back strip head and tail. Minor handling marks to tail of front board, and head of rear board. Internally, firmly bound. Pages a touch age toned, but otherwise clean and bright.
Very Good Indeed
