See his entry in the Oxford DNB. From the papers of Philip Dosse, who was proprietor of Hansom Books, publisher of a stable of seven arts magazines including Books and Bookmen and Plays and Players. See 'Death of a Bookman' by the novelist Sally Emerson (editor of 'Books and Bookmen' at the time of Dosse's suicide), in Standpoint magazine, October 2018. Rees-Mogg's book was published in 1974, and the present item appeared in 'Books and Bookmen' in the same year. A late draft, neatly written out on 5pp, small 4to, with each page on separate leaf. Signed at end 'Colin R. Coote'. Minor emendations to the first, second and last pages. Begins: 'This brilliantly sensible essay does something to redress my conviction that nothing good can come out of Printing House Square except by dismissal. The verdict was reached afterr over 20 year's service with the former Thunderer, when it became a ringleader in the foolish, flimsy, and almost lethal flummery called appeasement. But I now rejoice that God has answered Belloc's prayer to be with Balliol men by clearly inspiring one of them - Mr Rees-Mogg.' 'What is the "Reigning Error"?' Coote asks. 'It is failure to realise that an imaginary test is the enemy of a practical good. There are two basic themes in this essay. The first is the behaviour of money; the second is the behaviour of men.' At one point he writes: 'The only advantage I have over Mr Rees-Mogg is that I have actually experienced rabid deflation here and rabid inflation in four separate countries.' He concludes, on the subject of 'human behaviour', 'What is really distressing is not the venom of mindless militancy, but its stupidity. You need only be able to read and to see in order to know that if strikes are substituted for honest sweat the end will be ghastly unemployment; that if Parliamentary Democracy is destroyed, the alternative will be either tyranny or anarchy; that the real danger is not from known indignants, but from "leaders" who say "I am their leader I must follow them".'.

An interesting document on the South African situation at the beginning of the 1970s, written in support of apartheid by a leading British journalist. See Coote's entry in the Oxford DNB. From the papers of Philip Dosse, who was proprietor of Hansom Books, publisher of a stable of seven arts magazines including Books and Bookmen and Plays and Players. See 'Death of a Bookman' by the novelist Sally Emerson (editor of 'Books and Bookmen' at the time of Dosse's suicide), in Standpoint magazine, October 2018. There is no indication where, if anywhere, the present item was published. Coote explains the context at the very beginning: 'Early last year, I visited two samples of the controversial Republic of South Africa - the Cape Province, which is the oldest region settled by Europeans, and the Transkei, which is the most advanced of the Bantustans. I had a suspicion that the growls and oaths with which the policy of apartheid is normally bombarded by critics from outside might not be wholly deserved. [.] My conclusions from examining this corner of the vast territory of South Africa were that nobody could really define an alternative to the principle of apartheid in the unique conditions prevailing in South Africa; [.] I was therefore glad to be able to check up during the first two months of 1971 these provisional conclusions. There were two main criteria. One was what were the conditions in other parts of the country - the Transvaal, the Orange Free State, Natal, and South-West Africa. The other was the effect of a number of highly important happenings during the preceding year.' A total of 19pp, 4to, in five sections: ONE: 'South Africa Revisited'. (Numbered in autograph 'I'.) 4pp, 4to. TWO: 'South Africa's Economic Problems'. (Numbered in autograph 'II'.) 4pp, 4to. THREE: 'III | South Africa's Economy'. 3pp, 4to. FOUR: 'II | Nibbles at Apartheid'. 4pp, 4to. FIVE: 'White Man's Burdens'. (Numbered in autograph 'III'.) 4pp, 4to. Each page on a separate leaf, and the whole held together with paper clips, together with a slip of paper with 'Sir Colin Coote' on it. There manuscript additions in the margins of the first two sections, and minor emendations to them and the last section. On the reverse of the last leaf of all is the deleted autograph passage: 'I wonder if the Archbishop ever peceived that there are two Commandments in the South African politics. The first is "Thou shald not sabotage European supremacy". The second, equally a Divine injunction, is "Thou shalt not [neglect?] non-Europeans".' In good condition, lightly aged and worn, with slight rusting from paperclips.
