A very good example of this important edition in Churchill’s canon, with pages and the binding notoriously prone to browning and fading respectively. The work was originally published in 1898, under the auspices of Churchill's uncle while the author was still in India; the resultant spelling and contextual errors infuriated Churchill, who quickly attempted to address them, initially via an errata, before more definitively via this Silver Library edition, the first to incorporate the author's corrections into the text, rendering it an important and significantly collectable edition.
