Churchill, W.S. Ian Hamilton`s March This is the second of two books that chronicle Churchill`s adventures during the Boer War, which included capture and confinement as a prisoner of war and a daring escape that helped launch his fame and political career. This volume of letters to the Morning Post continues on from Churchill`s earlier book `London to Ladysmith via Pretoria`. The contents set forth the march of Ian Hamilton`s column `on the flank of Lord Roberts` main army,` from Bloemfontein to Pretoria, and it is stated that this force `encountered and overcame the brunt of the Boer resistance,` and traversing 400 miles of the enemy`s country, fought ten general actions and fourteen smaller affairs, capturing five towns. There is an interesting account of the life of the captured officers in Pretoria, and the volume contains a portrait of General Ian Hamilton, and a number of maps and plans illustrating his march. This is the second, and best, edition, published only one month after the first, `and was heavily corrected... and contains four reports not previously published` [Ref: Woods, A5]; (409pp. excluding adverts and index). The contents of this copy contain sporadic spotting typically found in this edition, with heavier patches of spotting evident in the preliminaries and title page, continuing to page 14 (end of chapter one) with more spotting occurring toward the end of the book, from around p.354 to the end of the appendix at p.409, and continuing through the three leaves of advertising just after the fold-out map. One owner inscription at top of first preliminary (in pen) and another pencil note on verso of f.f.e-p. The original black end-papers are intact and in good condition, with the tissue-guard protecting the title page from the portrait frontispiece. The rear folding map is in very good condition. The red cloth binding is good, though the spine is showing wear and fading, with a two inch split to the cloth on the bottom hinge, a small ink stain on spine title, and some puckering at the spine ends. The binding is cracked between pp.144/145 and again at pp.160/161 and 384/385, however all gatherings are intact (no loose pages). The 32pp. of Longmans, Green catalogue (succeeding the adverts) are in very good condition.
