Softcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Offprint. Octavo. 14pp. printed in double columns. Printed pale green wrappers. Small number stamped on front wrap, a bit of soiling at extremities of the wrappers, else near fine. A copy of the infamous "Tanaka Memorial," Japanese Prime Minister Giichi Tanaka's supposed plan for world domination, "presented" to Emperor Hirohito in 1927. According to the document, Japanese domination begins with China, and the domination of China begins in Manchuria and Mongolia. The Memorial was first printed in 1929, in a Chinese Nationalist publication. Its first appearance in English seems to be in 1931, in the *China Critic*, a Shanghai publication. Scholars now believe that the Memorial is a clever piece of anti-Japanese propaganda, although whether it was created by Chinese nationalists, the KGB, or someone else, remains unknown. Historian Meirion Harries calls the document "one of the most successful 'dirty tricks' of the twentieth century - a bogus document so brilliantly conceived that thirty years later Westerns were still being taken in by it." (*Soldiers of the Sun: The Rise and Fall of the Japanese Army*, 1991).

Softcover. Zustand: Very Good. Offprint. Octavo. 17pp. printed in double columns. Printed blue wrappers. Small number stamped on front wrap, a bit of sunning at extremities of the wrappers, very good or better.

4to. [x], 330, cxvi pp. Original olive green straight-grain morocco, gilt-extra, with alternating pattern of ovals and feathers, raised bands, all edges gilt, BOUND BY TAYLOR & HESSEY, London, with their gilt-stamp on the outer fore-edges of the upper and lower cover (as is common with their stamps). Near fine. ". . . BOUND UNDER THE DIRECTION OF SIR WALTER SCOTT HIMSELF": Manuscript note found within this copy: "Sir Walter Scott's Rokeby, Edinburgh, 1813. Original edition, green morocco. * This precious volume was bound under the direction of Sir Walter Scott himself, transmitted to the binder by John Ballantyne, the publisher; the edge when bent discloses a wonderful view of Rokeby [(corrected in pencil): Barnard] Castle painted by the celebrated Patrick Nasmyth [1787-1831] when in the full rigor of his great artistic talent." â" THIS MUST BE THE TAYLOR & HESSEY PAINTER, his work is profoundly similar to this artist, especially when considering his expert use of creating depth in a painting, plus his preponderance of thick dense trees that are painted with remarkable detail (unlike other fore-edge painters). This is an extremely rare example of the actual artist's name being mentioned. This is a choice example of a Taylor & Hessey binding with their exquisitely painted fore-edge painting, the binding being signed in the usual way from this bindery. Of all the Taylor & Hessey specimens I have examined, this is the first to mention the artist's name. The added association with this being a quarto volume, not the more typical and cheaper octavo, and that Sir Walter Scott's name is associated with the design of the binding, suggesting also the fore-edge painting, this is something quite unique.
