Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

First impression of the true first edition. Published during the early years of the First World War. ***Near fine in pale grey cloth-covered boards with black & white titles to the spine and decorative black borders to the front board. The boards are clean with only very minor marks, and a slight bubbling to the cloth at the top of the back board. The head and tail of the spine are just very slightly creased. Corners sharp. No bumps, splits or tears. Internally near fine with no foxing. Interior pages clean. No inscriptions. Spine tight. No dustwrapper. [please see scans] ***188 mm x 125 mm. 275 pages, including an Index plus four pages of adverts at the back of the book. ***'It is a great matter that we should understand thoroughly the point of view of "those who are at present our enemies." We wish to judge them neither more harshly nor more leniently than they deserve. In order to form our judgements wisely, we must know upon what information their point of view is founded. We must know what their beliefs are regarding the origin of the war, its progress and ultimate result, and also what motives inspire them and what they believe to be the objects for which they are fighting. Our chief means of doing so are the German newspapers. They are quite as unanimous on most of these matters as our own newspapers are, and though they are rigidly censored by the Government, perhaps, indeed, because they are, they unquestionably reflect, at the same time as they guide, the opinion of the vast majority of the nation. It therefore seemed to me that to make from these newspapers a number of selections, which would fairly represent their general tone, was a task well worth attempting and one likely to result in a book of permanent historical value. Some of the extracts included have already appeared in more or less complete form in some of the daily newspapers, but many of them are so important as to be indispensable to every student of the war, and therefore to deserve preservation in a complete form and in a volume of handy dimensions.' [Quote taken from the author / compiler's Preface. ***'These extracts are selected from fairly complete sets of eight representative German papers: "Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung" (North-German Universal Gazette), "Berliner Lokal-Anzeiger" (Berlin Local advertiser), "Vossische Zeitung" (Voss's Gazette), "Berliner Tageblatt" (Berlin Daily Newspaper), "Vorwarts" (Forward), "Frankfurter Zeitung" (Frankfort Gazette), "Kolnische Zeitung" (Cologne Gazette), "Hamburger Nachrichten" (Hamburg News). ***So far as can be judged from the German newspapers, life in Germany proceeded during December much as it did here. There is no evidence of any serious doubt of ultimate victory. There was no lack of business advertisements, in fact nothing to show that normal conditions were not prevailing everywhere, apart from the war.' [Quote taken from the Introductory Remarks] ***First impression of the true first edition, in nice collectable condition - published during the First World War. This original wartime publication, now over a hundred years old, is scarce and virtually unobtainable now - especially in such well-preserved condition. ***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 - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. ***.…
