We have to believe the historians when they say that there was "almost certainly" no physical relationship between the British Prime Minister Asquith and the love of his life Venetia Stanley. In 1912 when the letters start he was 59,married with children, and she was 25. They wrote to each other every day (and sometimes more than once a day) for about three years, until Venetia disappointed him by announcing her engagement to a family friend in 1915. By today's standards the tone of his letters (hers have not survived) would certainly lead one to disbelieve the historians: unambiguous declarations of love, secret assignations, rows of dots for unwritten words (of endearment?). Did they really slake their lust with the occasional game of bridge or round of golf? One would have thought that today the letters alone would have given Asquith's wife (who was fully aware of the relationship) ample grounds for divorce. Ref YY 7.

Livre Edition originale
Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. Some very slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners very slightly bruised, not price clipped (£19.50), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 676pp, illustrated. Liberal statesman H. H. Asquith (1852-1928), fell in love with Society beauty Venetia Stanley (1887-1948), in the spring of 1912. Over the next three years he wrote to her whenever he could not see her. He shared many political and military secrets with her and wrote freely of his colleagues in government, among them Lloyd George, Churchill and Kitchener. The correspondence ended abruptly in May 1915 when she announced she was going to marry one of his younger subordinates. The letters Asquith wrote to her during Cabinet meetings are often the only minutes of those meetings that exist and a crucial source of historical information on the formation of British strategy during the war. Although Venetia was intelligent, well read, and keenly interested in politics, she apparently felt overwhelmed by Asquith's demands. As a result, she finally accepted Edwin Montagu's proposal on 28th April 1915 and wrote to Asquith of her decision on 12th May. After converting to Judaism, Venetia married Montagu on 26th July 1915.The Prime Minister confessed himself utterly heart broken. Despite Venetia's affairs, her marriage to Montagu lasted until his premature death in 1924. Once a widow, she renewed her friendship with Asquith and Asquith's final excursion before his death in 1928 was a visit to her. The same year, the Liberal Party invited her to stand as a parliamentary candidate for South Norfolk, where she had inherited Montagu's country house in Attleborough, but she declined the offer. After being widowed, she took an interest in flying. In 1931, she embarked on a 6000 mile adventure in a DH Gypsy Moth piloted by Rupert Belleville. The journey took them across Russia, the Middle East and Persia. Of the journey she said that 'We are going for fun only, in the simplest, cheapest, and most modern way of seeing the world'. Venetia Stanley Montagu died of cancer in 1948, shortly before her 61st birthday. A large heavy book, extra postage maybe required.
