FIRST EDITION OF THIS VERY BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED WORK BY RUDYARD KIPLING. THE W. HEATH ROBINSON ILLUSTRATIONS ARE SUPERB BY ANY MEASURE. The trade edition of this volume was issued to benefit the "Daily Telegraph" National Bands Fund and includes the text of a speech given by Kipling on the subject: "From the lowest point of view a few drums and fifes in a battalion are worth five extra miles on a route march." Robinson’s highly sensuous illustrations perfectly complement Kipling’s poems of British seafaring around the world. The grand poem SONG OF THE ENGLISH is followed by six subsidiary poems likely composed while the Kiplings were living in Vermont. The theme underlying much of this collection is that the English are the Chosen under the Lord. This is one of Kipling’s earliest verses specifically setting out his vision of the British Empire and the duties which it imposes on the English people. His definition of 'the English' is wide certainly embracing the people of the overseas Empire Australia New Zealand Canada South Africa but arguably also the Americans among whom he lived in the years working on the collection.<br> "The next important task I undertook was the illustration of an edition of Rudyard Kipling's A SONG OF THE ENGLISH to be published.in the year 1908. It became necessary for me to meet the author and discuss the proposed book with him. For this purpose I traveled down to Burwash where he lived at that time. This was an excursion I shall always remember. I was met a Heathfield and journeyed thence in a motor-car. There were few cars on the road in those days and this in itself was a joyful experience as we drove through the pleasant Sussex lanes. Bateman's the house at Burwash where Rudyard Kipling lived was a fine old building with stone mullioned windows. It was in the midst of wind-blown Sussex country. Three was a faint smell of the sea in the air wafting across the few miles of country from the shore where the Coastwise lights of England watch the ships of England go. It was a fitting setting in which to find the author of A SONG OF THE ENGLISH.<br> He met and entertained me with a quiet affability which speedily removed the shyness I felt at first in his presence. Before long I was quite at home with him. His own knowledge of illustration gave him an appreciation of the artist's point of view. While making suggestions he realized that the illustrator must have a free a hand as possible. His sympathetic understanding of my part in the undertaking made me feel tha I was consulting with a brother artist. I spent a happy and for me a helpful day. It was a great inspiration for the work I had in hand to be in such close association with the author's interesting personalty. i am always glad to remember that he was satisfied with my illustrations to his book."

"The Song of the English" was first published in the English Illustrated Magazine May 1893. It was then presented as a collection by The Seven Seas. This edition published by Hodder & Stoughton was produced for the Christmas season in 1909. The poetry collection which includes six subsidiary poems with illustrations in colour and black and white by W Heath Robinson. These are some of Kipling's earliest verses setting out his version of the British Empire and the duties that it imposes on the English people. His definition of 'the English' is wide embracing all of the Anglo-Saxon dominions and probably the United States. The theme underlying this collection is that the English are the Chosen under the Lord as long as they obey the Higher Law a theme he again returned to in "Recessional "1897 and "White Man's Burden" 1898. The illustrator William Heath Robinson 1872 -1944 was born and educated in London. His early career involved illustrating books - among others: Hans Christian Andersen's Danish Fairy Tales and Legends 1897; The Arabian Nights 1899; Tales From Shakespeare 1902 and Twelfth Night 1908 Andersen's Fairy Tales 1913 A Midsummer Night's Dream 1914 Charles Kingsley's The Water-Babies 1915 and Walter de la Mare's Peacock Pie 1916. In the course of his work Heath Robinson also wrote and illustrated three children's books The Adventures of Uncle Lubin 1902 Bill the Minder 1912 and Peter Quip in Search of a Friend 1922. Uncle Lubin is regarded as the start of Heath Robinson's career in the depiction of unlikely machines. During the First World War he drew large numbers of cartoons depicting ever-more-unlikely secret weapons being used by the combatants. In England his name became a byword for unlikely contraptions very like Rube Goldberg's name became in the US. By Heath Robinson Illustrator. Edition of 500. Hardcover.
