At Eton Newcastle scholar and winner of the Pulling, then at Oxford, Scholar of Balliol, Fellow of All Souls, President of the University Boat Club and Founder of the Volunteer Corps', again at Eton Assistant Master for twenty-four and Headmaster for twenty-one years, you have given your school the utmost you could give her - all the powers of your mind, all the vigour of your manhood. While taking the foremost part in many great and needful changes, you have left the ancient spirit of the place unchanged. By force of character, self devotion and sound judgment, by manliness and sincerity you have won respect of men and the love of boys. These words, and the gifts which accompany them, are but the inadequate expression of feelings which fill the hearts of many thousand Etonians in all parts of the world, to whom the name of Edmond Warre recalls whatever is best and noblest in their well-loved school'. Edmond Warre CBE CVO (1837-1920) English rower and headmaster of Eton College, whose association with Eton lasted some 45 years, took an active interest in sports. The testimonial is recorded in Eton College Chronicle, no. 1163, Thursday, 6 December 1906, page 1 (photocopy supplied). In addition to this testimonial a portrait by John Singer Sargent was commissioned to hang in the Memorial Hall; and a Lady's Plate was also commissioned. (1)
*De Gaulle (Charles, 1890-1970). Typed letter signed, 'C. de Gaulle', 4 Carlton Gardens, London, SW1, 27 November 1940, in French, to the Imperial Airways pilot Commander A.R. 'Roly' Alderson at Kew, Surrey, thanking him for the flight on board the Clyde [G-AFCX] from Freetown to England, [21-23 November 1940], one page on de Gaulle's headed paper, greeting, sentiment and signature in blue ink in his autograph, 4to General de Gaulle arrived in London as the leader of Free France on 18 June 18 1940, where his interim government-in-exile was given rooms in St Stephens Club, a private club associated with the Conservative Party. They stayed for just over a month before being given a new headquarters at 4 Carlton Gardens on 22 July 1940. On 2 August a military tribunal in France sentenced De Gaulle to death in absentia. The Free French government under De Gaulle was officially established in London on 27 October. On 15 November De Gaulle flew to Freetown, Gabon, departingtwo days later. Provenance: From the Alderson family by direct descent, and accompanied by photocopied pages of A.R. Alderson's pilot's log book recording the flights.As recounted by Captain Roly Alderson to his children there was an attempted poisoning of the crew by Nazi collaborators trying to assassinate De Gaulle, and while Alderson was rendered quite ill himself and while De Gaulle survived, other members of the crew died. The incident is referred to obliquely at the end of the first paragraph, 'malgr‚ l'indisposition que vous avez eue a Freetown'. De Gaulle famously survived numerous assassination attempts but documented evidence for this attempt has not been found. (1)

Gill, Eric The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. Printed by Hague and Gill, High Wycombe, for the Limited Editions Club, 1933. 8vo, org. pigskin binding, boards with blind-blocked devices after Gill, spine lettered in blind; wood engraved title, five large headpieces to the Acts and tailpiece colophon design, printed from Joanna types on Barcham Green paper. Limited edition, numbered 551/1500, signed by Gill. idem 25 Nudes. J.M Dent, 1951. 8vo, org. red cloth, gilt EG monogram to upper board; wood engravings by Gill. Reprint. Controversial as he remains, there can be little doubt about the striking quality and artistry of Gill's distinctive style. Breaking away from the Bewick style of realism, he offered a sinuous line, often disturbing, frequently erotic, and stark contrasts wholly his own. His Hamlet took two years to produce and is one of the Limited Editions Club's greatest publications. Where Hamlet illuminates the artist, 25 Nudes reveals Gill the man, mixing art and sexuality.
Omar Khayyam Club Second Book of the Omar Khayyam Club 1910-1929. Printed for the Members for Private Circulation, 1931. Original cloth-backed boards with original paper label; decorative half-title printed in red, title printed in red and black, dedication printed in red, 31 tipped-in plates after menu illus. from club dinners by H.M. Bateman, David Low, F.W. Pomeroy et al, with poems from club menus by Walter de la Mare, Aldous Huxley, Michael Sadleir et al. A lavishly produced memorial to club dinners for a group founded less in appreciation of the great poet as much his most famous interpretor FitzGerald. It was the society which was responsible for entwining FitzGerald's grave with roses grown from those which entwine Omar's tomb. A strange and charming relic of a great era of literary societies.Some loss of paper-covering from boards, a upper margins a little dusty but a very good copy.
