CHURCHILL, Winston S. Lord Randolph Churchill . London: Macmillan and Co., 1906. 2 volumes. 8 o . Half-titles, frontispiece photo portrait of Lord Randolph Churchill. Illustrated with tipped-in facsimiles. Half-morocco marbled boards, spine gilt, marbled edges (upper hinges cracked). Provenance : Reginald Earle Welby (1832-1915) (inscription). FIRST EDITION, PRESENTATION COPY, signed and inscribed "To Lord Welby from Winston S. Churchill 1 Jan. 1906." Churchill's masterful biography of his father is more than an exercise in filial piety or a defense of Lord Randolph's provocative stand on Home Rule.
