A propos de cet article

Sixth edition. This is the second volume of three that were published - the other two volumes not present are 'Diary of the Great Warr' and 'A Last Diary of the Great Warr'. Full page black and white line copper plate illustrations including frontispiece - 'with Effigies by John Kettelwell, Newly Engraven at large upon Copper' noted on title-page. ***Very good in brown thick card boards with over a tan cloth spine. Slight off-setting to front and rear free endpapers. No inscriptions. Pages clean. Corners of boards slightly bumped. Head of spine has tiny tear and slightly rubbed. Fore-edge and bottom edge of text-block rough-cut (untrimmed, as called for). A few page edges uncut. No dustwrapper. ***304 pages plus four-page catalogue of publisher's titles, including the first volume of this diary and other war books, to rear. 196 mm x 134 mm. ***'By letters out of France, a most extraordinary thing related of strange engines, which our men do now use against the Germans, and by them named tanks, but wherefore God knows. Being, it seems, forts of steel, borne upon wheels, but these wheels (being driven like wheels of motor-coaches) will run upon the roughest ground possible; whereby the tanks do jump, or fly, over ditches and trenches; and as they go, do fire broadsides, but no shot aimed at them can pierce their shells. So these tanks coming upon them like fiery dragons, and spitting on them hot lead, the Germans be thrown into the greatest alarm, and presently, our soldiers falling upon them with grenades and bayonets, such of them as be not slain that instant made prisoners. The most splendid thing I heard of in my life.' (Quote from page 121 diary entry: Sept. 18). ***A spoof diary of the 1914-18 Great War, parodying the style of the great Samuel Pepys. Satire. ***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.…
