London: 'Vigilante' Office, 1918. First edition no.803, 8vo, original blue cloth gilt (2)Footnote: Note: Report of the 'Berlin Black Book' trial of the politician Noel Pemberton Billing - a libel trial after Pemberton Billing claimed that the German authorities possessed a list of 47,000 British names who they considered to be 'sexual deviants', with the intention of blackmail. He implicated the dancer Maud Allen in the claims, calling her private performance of Oscar Wilde's Salome "an open representation of degenerated sexual lust...and unnatural passions...by one Oscar Wilde..." Allen and her colleague J.T. Grein sued for libel. Pemberton Billing's defence hinged greatly on his view of Oscar Wilde as a "moral pervert", and Lord Alfred Douglas, known as a lover of Oscar Wilde, was called as a witness. Lord Alfred Douglas's account of his relationship with Wilde and his quarrel with Robert Ross are recorded in this transcript - including the moment he called Oscar Wilde "...the greatest force for evil that has appeared in Europe during the last 350 years." Although it had transpired that even the judge in the case was on the mysterious list of 47,000 names, the trial continued and Pemberton Billing was acquitted.

I bless you daily for cancelling that edition", discussing his probable departure for Peshawar "It is a misery, going to a strange camp. They goggle at me with all their eyes, for the first month, wondering why I'm not odder, and all the little newnesses of strange routines & disciplines keep my attention on the raw"..., the construction of swimming baths at Karachi using 'Revolt' money that had been donated to the RAF Benevolent Fund, this pool was to be "for married families and officers" and TE even details a rota for its use. At the end of the letter he states "Indeed Revolt wasn't a book at all. It was a sort of solvent of an overdraft: a financial instrument", slightly browned, slightly split at one foldFootnote: Note: Unpublished. The letter covers various topics including the proposed and eventually abortive Korda film. The letter was originally found in a drawer of a large mahogany sideboard being sold in an open air antiques market , possibly at Swinderby. The sideboard was thought to have last come from Scotland.

Harvie-Brown re-inlaid to front endpaper, stamp on titles only of Royal Scottish Museum, with Cancelled stampFootnote: Note: An interesting copy, formerly belonging to J.A. Harvie-Brown. A manuscript letter bound in to J.A. Harvie Brown from Professor Alfred Newman of Magdalene College Cambridge, addressed to "my dear Brown", discusses the edition and the likely former owner who has annotated some of the interleaves. Newman believes on the evidence put forward presumably by Harvie Brown that the mostly likely former owner was the Rev. E.H.W. Way of Denham near Uxbridge. Newman states is that Denham is "where the Reed Warbler was first clearly recognised - see Yarrell, ed. 4, i. p.369" and enquires whether the present copy contains any mention of the fact. He also mentions that Gladstone visited the college the previous week where he planted a tree, which had been swiftly stolen. At the end a note from William Wesley to J.A. Harvie Brown regarding the book is bound in.
