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.'

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 death 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.
