London: Faber & Faber Limited, 1938. Book. Fair. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 294 pages. "The hero of the piece, so to speak, is that ideal which few of my readers will wish to disavow - the ideal which the old apologists for empire used to call 'the white man's burden' and which now is conceived as the deliberate transformation of conquests, formerly achieved for purposes of gain, into a commonwealth." - from Preface. Two prior owner names atop front free endpaper. Spine slant. Somewhat above-average external wear. A worthy reading copy..
