Printed title within double-ruled border. Decorated paper wraps. Pages lightly toned and page edges soiled. Special prayers for : ".the Fast-Day."Issued in response to the war with France and Spain : ". For Imploring the Continuance of God's Blessing and Assistance on the Arms of Her Majesty and Her Allies Engaged in the Present War." G . "The War of the Spanish Succession 1701�1714 was a European conflict of the early 18th century triggered by the death of the childless Charles II of Spain in November 1700 eventually evolving into a global conflict due to overseas colonies and allies. His closest heirs were members of the Austrian Habsburg and French Bourbon families; acquisition of an undivided Spanish Empire by either threatened the European balance of power. Charles left an undivided Monarchy of Spain to Louis XIV's grandson Philip who was proclaimed King of Spain on 16 November 1700. Disputes over separation of the Spanish and French crowns and commercial rights led to war in 1701 between the Bourbons of France and Spain and the Grand Alliance whose candidate was Archduke Charles younger son of Leopold I Holy Roman Emperor. By the end of 1706 Allied victories in Italy and the Low Countries forced the French back within their borders but they were unable to make a decisive breakthrough. Control of the sea allowed the Allies to conduct successful offensives in Spain but lack of popular support for Archduke Charles meant they could not hold territory outside the coastal areas. Conflict extended to European colonies in North America where it is known as Queen Anne's War the West Indies as well as minor struggles in Colonial India." - See Wikipedia London: Printed by Charles Bill, and the Executrix of Thomas Newcomb, deceas'd; Printers to the Queens most excellent Majesty, 1 paperback

First lithoprint edition 3rd printing of 6000 total copies prepared by secretly lithoprinting in the Pentagon NOT 1000 copies as previously posited by Coleman & others in sections from modified dittoed versions which had been distributed under General Groves’s orders to correct the master copies with eventually whole paragraphs deleted or added in some chapters. This copy is entirely complete with none of the often missing pages especially p. VI-12 duplicates or misbound signatures which often appear due to the speed and paper requirements and also bears the colophon 25-56388-2M on page A5-1 at the rear indicating this was one of those printed on the high-sulphide paper often bearing signatures of varying toning. As per Arnold Kramish 1923-2010 nuclear physicist who worked Oak Ridge TN on the Manhattan Project and at the behest of Harry Smyth researched the printing history before 1985 of the original report and determined that there were 2000 copies released initially past the dittoed and mimeograph versions to the press and senior lab people. Due to early complaints of lack of access another 2000 were released followed by the much demanded 3rd release all before Princeton University Press released their published print run less than 1 month later in 1945. The famed Smyth report released to the public just after the United States had obliterated the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki using the first two atomic bombs at the end of World War II -- is “a remarkably full and candid account of the development work carried out. . . by the American-directed by internationally recruited team of physicists under the code name of Manhattan District. . . .†The introduction opens with statement that “The purpose of this report is to describe the scientific and technical developments in this country since 1940 directed toward the military use of energy from Atomic nuclei.†As an aside it should be noted that Michael Zinman has the original Arnold Kramish TLS identifying the printing history and an article is being prepared by Brett Tomlinson noted historian of science.

First official government statement printed and released on August 12 1945 solely for persons related to the project and the press being the first printed account of the development of the Manhattan Project and the atomic bomb issued just six days after the bombing of Hiroshima. The lithoprinting was done in the Adjunct General's Office in the Pentagon. / Coleman describes the conditions by which this book was put together "It is apparent that gathering the leaves for binding was done in haste under the pressure of tight security precautions. Pages are lacking or repeated in several copies that have been seen." :: p. 206. This copy is complete. / "Researchers should note that correspondence dealing with the writing and editing of the Smyth Report is mainly located in Series V Smyth Report. This correspondence appears to have been filed by Smyth with related materials i.e. notes draft manuscripts early printings for several reasons. His primary intent appears to have been continuity; the correspondence discussing his work on the Smyth Report often refers to specific drafts now also filed in Series V. These letters were also often classified "Secret" and "Top Secret" along with his various manuscript versions from 1944 through 1945. These materials remained together over the years while in Smyth's possession periodically undergoing review for declassification as a group by the U.S. AEC. For these reasons as well as the fact that Smyth meticulously arranged Series V himself the correspondence dealing with the Smyth Report has been maintained in its original order and assigned to this separate series. Cross referencing has been done for correspondents who appear in Series V Smyth Report; the existence of letters in Series V has been noted under the appropriate correspondent's name in the Series I section of the container list." :: American Philosophical Society Henry DeWolf Smyth Papers. / In addition page VI-12 contains the sometimes missing "secret" classified content dealing with plutonium production rates. This copy contains both the entire section V and the plutonian production rates from VI-12. / "The story of the development of the atomic bomb by the combined efforts of many groups in the United States is a fascinating but highly technical account of an enormous enterprise. Obviously military security prevents this story from being told in full at this time. However there is no reason why the administrative history of the Atomic Bomb project and the basic scientific knowledge on which the several developments were based should not be available now to the general public. To this end this account by Professor H. D. Smyth is presented./ All pertinent scientific information which can be released to the public at this time without violating the needs of national security is contained in this volume . . ." :: Major General L.R. Groves foreword. / "There was published on 12 August 1945 six days after the atomic attack on Hiroshima the remarkably full and candid account of the development work carried out between 1940 and 1945 by the American-directed by internationally-recruited team of physicists under the code name of 'Manhattan District' which culminated in the production of the first atomic bomb. . .
