The bindings are firm and sturdy, paper pattern and color differs between volumes I and II; contents are attractive and unmarked, with only m…inor foxing. Volume I was bound with new endpapers and with loss of front matter up to and including its frontispiece; volume II retains its half-title and frontispiece, though also bound with new endpapers. While imperfect from a bibliographic standpoint, the set remains useful and quite attractive. We rate it "fair" rather than "very good" owing to the loss to volume I. 1580 grams.

Frederick Wellesley was the Military Attaché at St. Petersburg from 1871-1878. ***Near fine in blue-grey cloth-covered boards with gilt ti…tles to the spine. Gilt still beautifully bright. No bumps. Corners sharp. Boards clean and unmarked. Page block edges also clean. No foxing. No inscriptions. Pages clean. Spine tight. Virtually unread. ***In a near fine original printed dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, showing the original publisher's price of 18s. net. Extremities of dustwrapper just slightly creased. No tears. There is very small loss to the top of the spine of the dustwrapper. No fading. No browning. No marks. ***235 mm x158 mm. 171 pages including an Index at the back of the book. ***Contents: Foreword, My childhood, Eton, Egypt, My army crammer, Life in the guards, Paris, London's underworld, All about dogs, Ireland, The tower, St. Petersburg, Russo-Turkish war, Vienna, Return to England. ***'Though Colonel Wellesley's promising, if somewhat chequered, career as a soldier and diplomat unfortunately came to a premature end, he nevertheless managed to crowd into a comparatively short space of time a great variety of interesting experiences, and, in one instance at least, he was called upon to play a prominent part in a difficult and delicate political situation which he handled with great skill, tact and judgement. It is not too much to say that he was largely instrumental in averting war between Great Britain and Russia at the time of the Russo-Turkish war of 1878. It was a great opportunity for a young man and he did not fail to acquit himself with distinction. For the most part, however, this book is not so much his life story as a collection of odds and ends of a more or less anecdotal character and of no political importance - the product of miscellaneous experiences both at home and in the great Capitals of Europe, Paris, St. Petersburg, and Vienna. These are of special interest if only for the sake of comparison with conditions prevailing to-day. But perhaps what lends most charm to his narrative is the delightful mid-Victorian flavour which pervades the whole.' [Quote taken from the front and rear flaps of the dustwrapper] ***First impression of the true first edition, in its original dustwrapper, in beautiful condition for quite a fragile book. Uncommon, especially in a complete dustwrapper. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate.

Hirohito | The Showa Emperor in War and Peace
Ikuhiko Hata [Hirohito (April 1901 - 7 January 1989) was the 124th Emperor of Japan according to the traditional order of succession, reigning from 25 December 1926, until his death on 7 January 1989. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Akihito. In Japan, reigning emperors are known simply as 'the Emperor' and he is now referred to primarily by his posthumous name, Showa, which is the name of the era coinciding with his reign; for this reason, he is also known as the 'Showa Emperor' or 'Emperor Showa']. Edited by Marius B. Jansen.

Zustand: Fine. First edition hard back binding in publisher's original grey cloth covers, gilt title and author lettering to the spine. 8vo. 9'' x 5½''. Contains [xxviii] 272 printed pages of text. This is a most important new work on Emperor Hirohito by one of Japan's leading historians, Ikuhiko Hata. Following the untimely dea…th of Marius B. Jansen (Emeritus Professor, University of Princeton) in December 2000, who had been actively collaborating with the author and translator of the original Japanese edition ("Hirohito Tenno itsutsu no ketsudan", first published in 1987 and republished in 1994), it was inevitable that there would be a delay in publication of the English edition, which is finally now available. In his extended Foreword as editor, referring to the nature of Hirohito's power, Jansen states: 'We are left with puzzles that will probably never be resolved. Clearly, as Professor Hata and others have shown, the Emperor Hirohito had immense power, but the condition of retaining it was judicious restraint in exercising it'. In offering a view on the merits of Hata's research, Jansen points to the hitherto unknown plots (in parallel but unrelated) by both the Army and Navy to preserve, and if necessary resuscitate, the imperial line in the event the victors decided to depose Hirohito. Jansen also points to the merits of Hata's particular focus on the contribution Hirohito made to Japan in its post-war relations with the United States. Jansen added substantive notes to help place the author's material in historical and historiographical perspective. The book, which is not a biography or a general history of the Showa era, focuses on five decisions taken by Emperor Hirohito, which the author considers the key turning points of his reign: these concern the 26 February 1936 insurrection of young army officers, the termination of the Pacific War, the post-war constitution, the issue of abdication and the San Francisco Peace Treaty.
