First Edition. Will Grefe frontispiece. Small octavo, original cloth, gilt and red lettering at covers in original printed and decorative dustjacket with heart shape cut out at mid front panel revealing red coloring of front cover cloth. Anthology of quotes and sentiments from the likes of Kipling, Abraham Lincoln, and Dickens and a surprising printing of Sakuma Tsutomu's famous last entry from his submarine journal. First published in English in 1910, this may very likely be the only printing to be found with a dustjacket. On April 15, 1910, Tsutomu's submarine suffered a malfunction resulting in the loss of the ship and crew. Two days later the submarine was recovered by Japanese authorities, and Tsutomu's journal was found, with a detailed analysis of what may have caused the accident, ending with an apology to Emperor Meiji for the loss of the submarine and 14 crew members before the ship's air ran out. The journal was posted in later press reports, and Sakuma became a posthumous national hero and an example for courage and steadfastness within the Imperial Japanese Navy. Near Fine in Very Good dustjacket, few shallow chips and closed tears. Seller Inventory # 25612
