1p., 8vo. In good condition, on lightly-aged paper. An interesting document, from the period immediately following the signing of the Entente Cordiale. The first paragraph (of three) reads: 'The Admiralty having approached the Commanding Officer [John Hay Athole Macdonald, Lord Kingsburgh] with a request that The Motor Volunteer Corps would perhaps take a small part in the hospitality to be shewn to the French Fleet, who are about to pay a visit to this country, I am directed to ask you whether you would be inclined to assist the Admiralty in this manner by helping to drive the Officers of the French Fleet from London to Maidenhead on the morning of Sunday, 13th August next. It is to be understood that this request to you, made in the name of the Commanding Officer, is not by any means a binding one nor does it partake of the nature of a duty, whilst no pay or allowances will be given.' The second paragraph gives the Commanding Officer's hope 'that the Members of the Corps will help to outvie the French nation in the hospitality which it has lately accorded to the English Fleet, even at trifling inconvenience to themselves'. In the third paragraph the probable 'route to be taken on the 13th August' is given: 'Leave Grand Hotel, Northumberland Avenue, at 10 to 10-30 a.m. and proceed to Maidenhead via Richmond Park & Windsor Forest. The Officers of the French Fleet will proceed by train to Portsmouth later in the day.'.…

About fine. This is the first edition of the first description of the technical development of the atomic bomb, published on 12 August 1945, just six days after Hiroshima. Until the publication of A General Account research and development had been undertaken in conditions of the utmost secrecy and the report was also prepared in secret. However, the British and American governments decided that the widest dissemination of this "remarkably full and candid account" (PMM) was in the public interest, and this first edition was distributed to journalists for radio use on 11 August and for press use the next day. This first edition with a Foreword by L.R. Groves is described as a "lithoprint" and was printed in the Adjutant General's office in the Pentagon from a typescript. "All pertinent scientific information which can be released to the public at this time without violating the needs of national security is contained in this volume. No requests for additional information should be made to private persons or organizations associated directly or indirectly with the project. Persons disclosing or securing additional information by any means whatsoever without authorization are subject to severe penalties under the Espionage Act" (Groves, from the Foreword). Although it does not state anywhere, this copy belonged to American physicist and director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, Norris Bradbury. In July 1944, Bradbury a naval commander, transferred to Los Alamos to work on the Manhattan Project. In 1945, Oppenheimer resigned as director of Los Alamos and recommended Bradbury for his replacement. Norman Library 1962. Printing and the Mind of Man, 422e. HBS 67805. $5,000. FISKE, Milan D.
