LITERATURE: Selection of autograph statements signed by various French writers, novelists and poets etc., each one page, folio, 1927-30, comprising Andre Maurois (in part 'A writer who speaks of a foreign country should have a deep sense of responsibility. Hate among nations, like hate among individuals, is often based on false, and even intentionally unfavourable imagery...Writers can help preserve peace by being accurate.'), Henri Barbusse (in part, 'War is not, as a few Force Theory crackpots would have us believe, a natural and inevitable phenomenon. It is an artificial cataclysm; it is an organised calamity. But neither should we say that war among nations is a sign of madness, because great scuffles between nations are, to the contrary, the result of very well thought out calculations: everyone now acknowledges this, since everyone allows that all war has economic causes...'), Georges Duhamel (in full 'Man's greatness lies in doing certain things which are not in the natural order. And peace is not part of the natural order.'), Paul Claudel, Jean Giraudoux (in full 'It is to the credit of our age that we have made of Peace sustenance for men, on the same footing as bread or wine'), Paul Fort (quoting his French ballad The Ring Around the World), Andre Salmon (in part 'War must be combatted with the patience and knowledge used in combatting all physical scourges. But it is a difficult undertaking and requires a lot of love....), Henri de Regnier (in full 'If you want peace, prepare for peace'), Jules Romains (in part 'I am not too sure that another thought in favour of peace is absolutely necessary. But perhaps many thoughts in favour of peace will help get something done. That must be the goal which the man who initiated this collection set for himself - because I do not want to believe that he dreamed of offering to the new and anxious Europe, as to a young girl, an album of autographs....') and Sibylle, Comtesse de Martel de Janville ('Gyp'; in full 'Peace? I don't believe in it!'). Some light age wear, G to VG, 10 The statements were prepared for publication in the Pax Mundi book; an anthology of sentiments on peace published in Switzerland by the World League for Peace. Between 1925 and 1932 many notable persons from around the world were asked to comment on the prospects of world peace and the volume included contributions from Marie Curie, Guglielmo Marconi, Albert Einstein, Rabindranath Tagore and many others.
PHILBY KIM: (1912-1988) British Intelligence Officer, a Double Agent and member of the spy ring known as the Cambridge Five. Philby defected to the Soviet Union in 1963. T.L.S., H. A. R. Philby, one page, 8vo, Moscow, 24th April n.y., to Mr. Braybrooke. Philby apologises for the delay in replying to his correspondent's letter about Ackerley and remarks that he 'can be of virtually no help to you' explaining 'My only correspondence with him was of a purely formal nature in the 50's, when I was an occasional book reviewer for The Listener. It all went into the waste paper basket as soon as I had banked my cheque.' Philby further writes 'I have no objection to your quoting from any letters I sent your son-in-law, although I cannot remember what I said and cannot feel that what I said would be worth quotation anyway. Perhaps, if you did quote me, you would make it clear that the remarks were off-the-cuff' and in concluding states 'Your news of John's tonguing-and-grooving was the first I had heard from him for about two years. He is an idle young rascal when it comes to letter writing, but I am not much better myself. If you run into him again, perhaps you would give him my love and recriminations, and tell him to propose himself for a visit to Moscow some day -- giving two or three months notice, as I am travelling an awful lot.' Rare. The text is a little light, although perfectly legible, and there are some heavy surface creases, largely to the edges. G
PHILBY KIM: (1912-1988) British Intelligence Officer, a Double Agent and member of the spy ring known as the Cambridge Five. Philby defected to the Soviet Union in 1963. T.L.S., Kim Philby, two pages, 8vo, Moscow, 4th October n.y. (1961?), to Brian Rooney ('My dear Rooney') of G. Bell & Sons. Philby states that he remembers his correspondent from previous letters, 'especially for occasional news items about John at a time when he never wrote at all. There has been a slight (very slight) improvement since then; perhaps an average of 1 ½ letters per year.' He writes regarding the death of his sister, 'I am grateful for your kind words about Pat. I was very fond of her, and there was some discussion of her coming out here for a visit. Actually, the first report I heard was that she had been murdered, so the news that her death was natural was almost a relief. My eldest daughter, who was here in the summer, told me that she was looking very weak and thin, so I was half prepared for the news.' and further states 'As for your request about the Myth of QS, I doubt whether I have any legal standing in the matter. But, in case I have, I readily give my consent to your doing anything you like with it - - except of course destroying it. If the Saudi deal falls through, and you want to get rid of the MS, perhaps you would send it to me' before continuing 'By all means let John have anything that may be forthcoming from the Saudi, or any other, deal. As you say, I do not suppose that there will be much in it, but perhaps he could buy you a meal at some bomb-free eating place. Incidentally, you can take this consent as a blanket one to cover any other dealings you may have with my father's Nachlass. Somewhere there should be a vast tome (some half-million words) on Transjordan, written originally, I think, for Hale. Somewhat naturally, the latter wouldn't touch a book that size, and, as my father refused to cut out a single word, the matter rested in abeyance. Where the typescript is now, I have no idea.' Accompanied by the original envelope. Rare. VG Hillary 'Harry' St-John Bridger Philby (1885-1960), British Colonial office Intelligence officer, Explorer and Arabist, also known as Jack Philby or by his Arabic name Sheikh Abdullah. Father of Kim Philby.
PHILBY KIM: (1912-1988) British Intelligence Officer, a Double Agent and member of the spy ring known as the Cambridge Five. Philby defected to the Soviet Union in 1963. T.L.S., H. A. R. Philby, one page, 8vo, Moscow, 26th February n.y. (annotated 1969 in pencil in another hand), to [Brian] Rooney ('My dear Rooney'). Philby announces 'Here I am bothering you again!' and continues 'This time, it is at John's specific request. He wrote me a short and uninformative note from Spain, suggesting that I should reply through you, as he thought that a Moscow postmark might provoke the curiosity of the Spaniards. You seem to have been very kind to John in many ways; so, if you get fed up with acting as a go-between, don't hesitate to let me know. Meanwhile, I wonder whether you would pass him the enclosed?' (no longer present). Philby further states 'I was intrigued by EMF's comment on JRA's book. Was he outraged by the author's rather acidly anti-parental attitude? Or was he, as a member of the same club, provoked by the revelation of its practices? Actually, I thought it was the weakest chapter in the book - - and very much too long.' In concluding he writes 'I am sorry to hear about Davis-Poynter's row with the Litsupp. I hope it wasn't anything to do with me. Perhaps John will let me know about the snide remarks in the Londoner's Diary; I don't get the Standard here. So many thanks for your kindness.' Rare. Some light overall surface creasing, otherwise VG
ELIZABETH II: (1926- ) Queen of the United Kingdom 1952- . A.L.S., in the scarcer form Lilibet, two pages, 8vo, Sandringham, Norfolk, 8th January 1982, to 'Darling Jean' [Jean Wills, her cousin]. The Queen thanks her cousin for a Christmas gift of a potted azalea 'and the hot water bottle cover (how did you know mine was threadbare?)' continuing to comment on her plans for the azalea, explaining that she has given it to her gardener so that 'we might plant it in the wilderness that is now Frogmore garden' in the spring. The Queen concludes by inviting her cousin to Sandringham for a few days at the end of the month, remarking 'Blair could fix it up if you gave him a ring - hoping the snow has gone!' VG Jean Wills (1915-1999) nee Elphinstone. 1st cousin of Queen Elizabeth II.
