Wrappers lightly toned. 1953 Stapled Binding. 40 pp. Foreword by Aldous Huxley. "In a very interesting essay Amiya Chakravarty discusses the Indian philosophy of peace. The great merit of this philosophy consists in the fact that it goes back to first principles. Peace it insists is more than a mere matter of political and economic arrangements. Because man stands on the borderline between the animal and the divine the temporal and the eternal peace on earth possesses a cosmic significance. Every violent extinction of a human life has a transcendent and eternal significance. Moreover the mind of the universe is among other things the peace that passes understanding.

Davies and Aldous Huxley among others. This is number 84. The Legion Book was created at the request of H.R.H. The Prince of Wales—who would later become King Edward VIII and following his abdication the Duke of Windsor—as a fundraising initiative for the British Legion. All profits from its sales were intended to support the organization. The book features contributions from 85 distinguished British writers and artists including Winston Churchill Rudyard Kipling P.G. Wodehouse Aldous Huxley Vita Sackville-West G.K. Chesterton Hilaire Belloc Augustus John Eric Kennington and John Nash. It was compiled and edited by James Humphrey Cotton Minchin 1894–1966 a veteran who served with the Cameronians and the Royal Flying Corps during the First World War. While the trade version saw several reprints a special edition of 600 numbered copies was also produced. Of these 500 bore the editor’s signature but “the first 100 were reserved for H.R.H. the Prince of Wales sponsor of the volume in his gift.†According to the note at the conclusion of the Table of Contents “Five pages of contributors’ signatures appear after the Dedication with additional signed pages opposite Collotype No. 3 and Collotype No. 20.†Every contributor signed the book with the sole exception of John Singer Sargent who died in 1925 before the project was completed. In near fine condition with toning to the extremities of the front panel and front hinge. Housed in the original publisher's custom folding cloth clamshell box. An exceptional example of this rare signed limited edition. Formed in the aftermath of a war that had shattered a generation the Royal British Legion emerged in May 1921 as a unified voice for the countless veterans left wounded—physically mentally and economically—by the First World War. The staggering cost of the conflict with nearly 3.2 million British Empire casualties exposed the inadequacy of postwar support. A fully disabled veteran received just 30 shillings a week and any claim had to be made within seven years of discharge. In response to such injustice several ex-servicemen’s groups came together to create the Legion not merely as a charity but as an advocate for those who had borne the brunt of industrialized warfare. From its inception the Legion fought for fair pensions better employment opportunities and meaningful support for both former service members and their families—laying the groundwork for a broader movement of remembrance welfare and national responsibility that continues to this day.
