Hard Cover. No Jacket. First Edition. Red embossed boards, viii, 304 pages, with an Introduction by The Duke of Westminster. The boards are chipped at the edges, the head's outer edge also bumped' the head and tail of the spine lightly frayed and there is a neat owenrship signature on the head of the front end paper. The main faults with the book are printer's ones: quite a few of the pages are short cut and the edges roughly cut. This has left some with a ragged edge with minor loss to pages xi, 123, and 271. A clean, unmarked and very good binding, though obviously read. From the Preface of Prisoners of the Red Desert: Being a Full and True History of the Men of the 'Tara 'I hold a Philosophy which, briefy expressed, is this - that in all human affairs that which happens is always for the best. This is no fatalism, no blind belief in the inevitableness of predestined events; it is, on the contrary, a practical working faith in the Providence which directs our ends. The ways and methods of Providence may not often be Visible in their unfold' ing, but to those who know how to wait and to work, the final result is always sure. Man is no mere sense less tool - he is a Workman -and Circumstances; whether good or ill, ' are the tools with which he must work. And He who made the Workman knows also how to direct the work, and to supply those tools which are necessary, so that they shall not fail the Workman at his need. But, for his part, the Workman must needs work according to the immutable laws of his trade, lest his tools be broken and his labour vain." Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.…
