Zustand: Gut. 1st. 8° 160 pages. Cloth, Dustjacket, Vorsatzblatt kleine Fehlstelle, erste Seite mit Bleistiftanstreichungen, sonst gut. Sprache: Englisch, ------ Robert Gilbert Vansittart, 1. Baron Vansittart, GCB, GCMG, (* 25. Juni 1881 in Farnham, Surrey; gest. 14. Februar 1957 in Denham, Buckinghamshire) war ein britischer Diplomat. Robert Vansittart, ein Cousin zweiten Grades von Thomas Edward Lawrence (Lawrence von Arabien), besuchte das Eton College und war dann als Diplomat in Paris (Friedenskonferenz 1919-1920), Teheran und Kairo tätig. Anschließend war er Privatsekretär Lord Curzons, des Chefs der Amerika-Abteilung im Außenministerium, später Privatsekretär der Premierminister Stanley Baldwin und Ramsay MacDonald. 1929 wurde er Unterstaatssekretär (Permanent Under Secretary) im Außenministerium. Bis 1937 war er oberster Beamter im Außenministerium. Als Gegner der Appeasement-Politik geriet er später in Konflikt mit Premier Arthur Neville Chamberlain und wurde auf den unbedeutenden Posten eines Beraters abgeschoben. Im Spätherbst 1940 veröffentlichte er in siebenteiligen BBC-Radiosendungen, von ihm selbst verlesen, und von Januar bis März 1941 in Broschüren-Form mit einer Auflage von über 1 Million Stück für die Briten unter dem Titel Black Record antideutsche 70-seitige Pamphlete, die eine in den Tagen des Tacitus beginnende Geschichte deutscher Aggressionen in Europa erzählten und die nach Auffassung des späteren Bundeskanzlers Willy Brandt der Hitlerschen Rassenlehre sehr nahe verwandt waren. Bereits seit 1942 wusste er, als einer von wenigen ausländischen Beobachtern, vom Völkermord an den europäischen Juden.

ONE: Typed Letter Signed from 'Roger Vansittart' to 'Sir Richard Harington, Bart., | Whitbourne Court, | Worcester.' Foreign Office; 13 April 1927. 1p., foolscap 8vo. In fair condition aged and worn. He is 'directed by Secretary Sir Austen Chamberlain to refer to your letter of the 5th instant regarding the possibility of a claim being preferred against the Mexican Government in respect of your holding in Mexican Railways'. He is transmitting 'the full text of a Foreign Office statement recently issued to the Press [Item Two below] explaining the circumstances under which claims against the Mexican Government would lie under the recently concluded Anglo-Mexican Claims Convention'. Vansittart notes that '[g]enerally speaking it may be said that claims in respect of interest on individual railway bonds do not fall within the purview of the Convention', and suggests that Harington should 'in the first instance communicate with the Boards of any British owned Railway Companies in Mexico in which you may hold shares or bonds. TWO: The press statement referred to in Item One above. 1p., 8vo. Headed 'CONFIDENTIAL.' At foot: '3931 [16000]'. Aged and with creasing and wear to extremities. A detailed statement, broken down into five sections. Begins: 'A CONVENTION has been concluded between the British and Mexican Governments for the adjustment of pecuniary claims for losses incurred by British subjects in Mexico on account of revolutionary acts which occurred between November 1910 and May 1920.' No other copy traced, either on OCLC WorldCat or on COPAC. THREE: Printed 'Circular Letter' by 'Thomas Linton, | Secretary.' Headed: 'The Interoceanic Railway of Mexico (Acapulco to Vera Cruz) Limited. | The Mexican Eastern Railway Company Limited. | The Mexican Southern Railway Limited.' Dated from 'Finsbury Pavement House, | London, E.C.2. | 18th March, 1927.' 2pp., foolscap 8vo. Aged and with creasing and wear to extremities. Printed in black on blue-grey paper, with final note ('To the holders of both classes of deferred interest warrants of the Mexican Southern Company.') printed in red. Linton explains that 'The properties of the three Companies were seized by the Government of Mexico on the 15th August, 1914, and were not returned until the 1st January, 1926. During that period the Government administered the Railways and retained the earnings. When returned, the Railways were in bad condition, and they have not yet been restored to the 1914 standard, the cost of which is an obligation of the Government, nor has any compensation yet been recovered from the Government in respect of the loss of income during the period of attachment, which lasted for upwards of eleven years.' He proceeds to discuss what plans are 'needed in the difficult circumstances in which the Companies have been placed by reason of the non-payment of their claims against the Government'. From the Harington family papers.

7pp., 12mo. Good, on lightly-aged paper. On two bifoliums. He begins: 'Dear Mr. Vansittart | I have just finished a second reading of "The Singing Caravan". I got a copy for myself after a hunt, for it is o[ut]. [of] p[rint]. as you know'. He will 'return to it again & again. It is rather a shame to trouble you with a letter when you are just "shooting Niagara", but [.] you can read it when you choose.' He is 'impelled anew to thank you for the book, and to say how fine I think it, & how real a gift it is to your generation.' Cairns continues in the same vein, praising the 'abundance of fine lines & passages'. 'It is, if I have read it rightly, as I think I have, a kind of "Pilgrim's Progress" of a very original twentieth century kind.' He continues with his interpretation'. He finds the values of the book 'deeply Christian'. He ends: 'Forgive this intrusion but I feel I am deeply your debtor for this poem It has ignited my own imagination, & has won a place among the friendly books to which I shall turn again'. 'The Singing Caravan' is described in Vansittart's entry in the Oxford DNB as his 'most celebrated piece [.] a kind of Canterbury Tales set in Persia [.] much admired by his distant kinsman T. E. Lawrence'.
