CHURCHILL, Winston Spencer (1874-1965). Liberalism and the Social Problem. London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1909. 8 o . (Two small pencil marks on last leaves.) Original plum buckram, upper cover with gilt facsimile signature (corners, head and foot of spine lightly bumped); slipcase. Provenance: Sir Edward Marsh (1872-1953) (presentation inscription). FIRST EDITION, FIRST IMPRESSION, PRESENTATION COPY INSCRIBED BY CHURCHILL to his longtime friend and private secretary, "Eddie from Winston S. Churchill." A career civil servant and famous patron of poets and painters, Marsh (known always as Eddie, and never Edward) worked alongside Churchill from his days in the Colonial Office to his stint as Chancellor of the Exchequer. He helped edit--and on occasion ghost write--Churchill's books. A devoted friend to Rupert Brooke, Siegfried Sassoon and other young poets of the time, he was also one of the greatest collectors of modern British paintings. Churchill eulogized him as "a deeply instructed champion of the arts." Woods A15.
