There can be no doubt of who it is a model of, though from being so much with him and knowing every feature better than anyone else I do not perhaps see it so like as others do, even my sisters. Your generosity enables me to give one bust to a cousin who will I know value it immensely. You will accept my sincere thanks and believe me to remain yours truly and obliged, M A Gordon. I do not think I sent you a copy of my brother's last words, which I now enclose hoping you may care to keep them. I have not said how much I admire your bust, it is so beautifully executed".…

POOR. ONLY MAJOR GENERAL KILLED IN HAND TO HAND COMBAT.

Being a Personal Narrative of Events in Continuation of "A Secret History of the English Occupation of Egypt." Second Impression. Photogravure portrait frontispiece. Endpapers differentially browned, otherwise a very good copy in the original dark blue cloth, in slightly chipped and soiled dust-jacket, t.e.g. others uncut. xvi, 666pp. Stephen Swift and Co., Ltd., This Second Impression was published three months after the First Edition. Uncommon, particularly in dust-jacket.   "Blunt's prose-writings are on a lower plane [than his poetry], albeit in treatment rather than in style. He was constitutionally unfitted to write contemporary history. His discretion is questionable, his judgement superficial: he records gossip as fact, and allows prejudice to colour his narration. The Secret History of the English Occupation of Egypt (1907), Gordon at Khartoum (1911), and My Diaries (1919 and 1920) justify this verdict. These three works are interesting supplements to the impressions of more sober writers, but little else." [Lt.-Col. P.G. Elgood in DNB].…
