First edition, first printings. Four Volume Set. Original red cloth, the spines lettered and ruled in gilt to green labels. Issued without dustwrappers. A fine set, bindings square and firm, the contents clean and bright throughout. There is a tiny patch of loss to the gilt lettering (the lower half of the editor's name) to the spine of Vol. I (down to manufacture rather than rubbing). A lovely, sharp example of this important set. As Patrick Parrinder, the consulting editor, writes in the Preface to these four packed volumes, "To his output of 150 books and pamphlets and over 4200 published items we may now add some 2,800 selected letters. The statistics alone are impressive enough, but the letters offer a unique record of the intellectual vitality, the sense of mission, the candour and the personal warmth that Wells sustained throughout his long life." A monumental editorial feat, drawing on more than fifty archives and libraries (including the papers of Wells's daughter), the correspondence is as much a portrait of the age as the author. Wells corresponded with President Roosevelt, Prime Ministers Churchill and Balfour; with friends and lovers including Rebecca West, Eileen Power, Gertrude Stein, Marie Stopes, and Dorothy Richardson; not to speak of correspondence with the press and the BBC. In addition to his own letters there is a selection of letters addressed to Wells (where his own are not extant) including those from Joseph Conrad, Jung, Trotsky, and J.C. Smuts. "David Smith demonstrated his scholarship in his political biography of Wells ('Desperately Mortal', 1986) and deserves the highest praise for the expertise and patience he has brought to this later enterprise not least in deciphering Wells's tiny handwriting. Detailed [.] notes inform a high proportion of the items." (Simon J. James, TLS, May 8, 1998). Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.

Cloth. Condition: Very good. The first edition of Annual of Scientific Discovery, edited by David A. Wells, from the library of President Millard Fillmore. (illustrator). First Edition. Octavo, xx, [21], 419pp, [12pp ads]. Publisher's brown cloth, title stamped in gilt on the spine, rubbed. No additional printings noted. Light wear to spine, fraying along head of the spine, lightly bumped corners. Frontispiece portrait with tissue cover. Occasional foxing and toning throughout. This copy is from the library of President Millard Fillmore, with his signature on the front pastedown. Dated May 7, 1859, in Fillmore's hand. (Provenance: Parke Bernet, Lot 263, 1944). Millard Fillmore (1800-1874), the 13th President of the United States, assumed office in 1850 following the death of President Zachary Taylor. A member of the Whig Party, Fillmore faced significant challenges during his presidency, particularly in navigating the contentious issue of slavery in the newly acquired territories from the Mexican-American War. His signing of the Compromise of 1850, which included the controversial Fugitive Slave Act, aimed to maintain a delicate balance between the Northern and Southern states but ultimately exacerbated tensions leading up to the Civil War.
