About This Item
Garden City, New York: Doubleday Doran and Company, 1932. hardcover. Book VG: age wear/soil to boards and spine, name in writing and bookplate on front paste down, mild toning/foxing to endpapers, text clean, binding tight./no DJ. 8vo 347pp. from Preface: "For this book, there is, perhaps, an opportunity. No man ever lived a more remarkable life, and few men made more of a difference to other lives than the younger Pitt. Yet the story of his career is to-day virtually inaccessible to this present generation. [. . .] A book is needed, therefore, which will enable the reader of this twentieth century to see William Pitt as he was--the man, his environment, the situations that he had to face, his triumph at the outset, the tragedy that overwhelmed him at the end. It is after many years, spent in the parliamentary and administrative atmosphere, that I have attempted this task." #01849.
