Scott (Captain Robert F.). Scott's Last Expedition, volume 1 only (of 2), 1st edition, 1913, photogravure frontispiece, numerous monochrome illustrations, with an inscription and signature on page five by J J Kinsey, the New Zealand representative on the expedition, together with an signed autograph letter of Kinsey tipped into inside cover and several photographs provided by him, top edge gilt, remainder rough trimmed, original blue cloth, rubbed with dampstain to lower cover, thick, 8vo, Kinsey, a Christchurch NZ based solicitor, was a long term friend of Scott and on Scott's advice had acted as attorney to Shackleton's expedition of 1908. Scott appointed him his agent in New Zealand for the ill fated Terra Nova expedition in 1910, and Kinsey used his considerable business accumen to obtain the best possible commercial deals for the cash-strapped venture. When Scott and his party arrived at Christchurch, Kinsey housed both Scott and his wife and provided a string of social parties to raise funds, culminating in the 'Terra Nova Garden Party' when 'anyone who was anyone' was invited to meet Scott. The present volume bears Scott's appreciation of Kinsey on page 5 under which Kinsey has written 'This testimony is much appreciated by me. J J Kinsey, Christchurch, NZ 28/6/14'. The autograph letter loosely inserted inside the front cover mentions that Kinsey is sending two photographs he has taken for inclusion in the book (still present) - one of the original illuminated memorial signed by the London Committee of the British Antarctic Expedition when they presented him with the book in 1913, and the second of the last letter written by Scott to Kinsey in the last few days of his life. This is of particular interest in that it contains a derogatory reference to Sir Edward Evans, saying that he was a man who was not to be trusted - a reference which was expunged from the published version of the text.
