About This Item
NY: W. W. Norton. Very Good- with no dust jacket. 1932. First Edition; First Printing. Moderate outer wear, spine darkened. John A. Blum's copy dated 1/14/36 ffep. Handwritten on the rear endpapers, Blum (a Macy's executive) recounts a dinner with the author on 20 Feb, 1936. In part it reads: "After dinner last night, Mr Allison & I were talking about M. Thiers and he told me the real story of Thier's death...this ending...is of such a nature that its inclusion in a biography of this nature would ruin the whole thing, according to JMSA." The notes also address the circumstances of Thiers's birth, which are mainly lost or avoided in the literature extant. Allison's findings are related here by Blum, dated 21 February 1936. 8vo; 294 pages. bx126
