London: Thornton Butterworth, 1931. [History and Politics] FIRST EDITION, first and second impression in soft covers. Two volumes. Crown octavo (19 x 13cm), pp.141 [3]; pp.141 [3]. With advertisement for the Indian Empire Society at rear. Volumes are identical, except that the first impression is in orange soft covers, and the second is in green. Both volumes titled in black, priced at 1s. Light spotting to edges of both volumes. Clean copies, with some sunning and wear to spine of the first impression, as well as a light crease to the lower corner of the front cover. Very good. Second impression shows light handling only. Near fine. A collection of 10 speeches by Churchill on the future of India, which he firmly believed should remain under direct British rule. A rare and fragile title, now almost unobtainable in hard covers. Item #58995
