About This Item
London : William Heinemann, (1975). First edition. The final volume of Scott's "Jewel in the Crown" quartet - the British Raj moves inexorably towards its end, the horrors of partition, etc. "Is there nothing more gullible in the whole animal world than a human being? One has this hysterical belief in the non-recurrence of the abysmal, I suppose. One always imagines one has reached the nadir and that the only possible next move is up and out". Demy 8vo (23cm). [viii],(600)pp. Original brown boards, blocked and lettered in gilt; very faint spine crease; light spotting of edges, but a very good copy in the original Bill Richmond dust-jacket - just faintly sunned at spine, but also very good.
