CHURCHILL, Winston S. Lord Randolph Churchill . London: Macmillan and Co., 1906.
CHURCHILL, Winston S. Lord Randolph Churchill . London: Macmillan and Co., 1906. 2 volumes. 8 o . Half-titles, frontispiece photo portrait of Lord Randolph Churchill. Illustrated with tipped-in facsimiles. Half-morocco marbled boards, spine gilt, marbled edges (upper hinges cracked). Provenance : Reginald Earle Welby (1832-1915) (inscription). FIRST EDITION, PRESENTATION COPY, signed and inscribed "To Lord Welby from Winston S. Churchill 1 Jan. 1906." Churchill's masterful biography of his father is more than an exercise in filial piety or a defense of Lord Randolph's provocative stand on Home Rule. It is a superb political history of the late Victorian era, told with verve and keen insight into the motives of the major players. A career civil servant, Welby was permanent secretary to the Treasury and president of the Royal Statistical Society. Woods A8(a). (2)
