Small octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/2") issued in orange cloth with purple lettering to front cover and offset coloring to spine in original pictorial jacket. First American edition. One of the outstanding literary figures of this generation, Ford Madox Ford is equally distinguished as a poet, essayist, biographer, critic and novelist. Here he has turned his great abilities to the job he likes best of all - the telling of a story, with its psychology, its flavor, its drama, deeply rooted in the present-day; its background in France and America. He takes a study in the exchange of identities, and shows us that, even though Henry Martin Alluin Smith did not commit suicide, as he had planned; even though he took over the identity of a man who did, nevertheless if one changes his identity without changing his nature hi is no better off than he was before. Written with the distinction for which Ford Madox Ford is famous, The Rash Act is a psychological novel of the first importance, permeated with the irony of which the author is a master, and sure to engage intense interest from beginning to end. Condition: Jacket corners, spine extremities and head edge chips, front spine hinge rubbed else a near fine copy in a very good jacket.

From the Bart Auerbach Collection. 8vo . O riginal dark red buckram, gilt-lettered and stamped, top edges gilt, others untrimmed . In a cloth folding case. First edition. The dedication copy, inscribed on publication day by Ford on the front free endpaper: "Henry James, Esq. / affectionately from / Ford Madox Hueffer / 9th May MCMVI." The printed dedication is "To Henry James." Ford first met James in 1896, but it was not until 1901 when he moved to Winchelsea, within walking distance of James' home in Rye, that the two became better acquainted. Ford revered the older writer and in his ' Henry James: a Critical Study ' (1914) wrote: "Mr. James is the greatest of living writers and in consequence, for me, the greatest of living men." ' The Heart of the Country ' is the middle volume, consisting of essays about the English countryside, in Ford's "Englishness" trilogy published by Alston Rivers, which also includes The Soul of London (1905) and The Spirit of the People (1907). A wonderful association copy, linking the two major novelists. A copy of the first edition of James's 'English Hours' inscribed by the author to Ford, Rye, 7 Nov. 1905, was on the market in the past decade.
