Liberalism and the Social Problem.

CHURCHILL, Winston S.

Edité par London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1909

First edition, collecting the speeches of Churchill, then a Liberal MP, on pressing issues including the conciliation of South Africa, imperial preference, labour exchanges, and unemployment insurance. "That a young, radical Churchill was once held the scourge of the British Establishment and a traitor to his class is largely forgotten by those who think of him only in the modern or at least the Second World War context. Yet by 1909, when his third book of speeches was published, Churchill was an ardent reformer, the bane of Torydom. the first edition is exceedingly rare " (Langworth, pp. 90, 92). Provenance: the collection of Steve Forbes, chairman of Forbes Magazine, and presidential candidate in the 1996 and 2000 US elections. Cohen A29.1.a; Woods A15.
