BUCHAN, JOHN Lord Minto: A Memoir
London Thomas Nelson & Sons, 1924 Hard Cover Very Good
Xviii,352 pages, 9 plates, cloth, new cloth backstrip, very good. The preface states: "In writing this Memoir, I have had access to the journal and the private papers of Lord Minto, as well as to the official records of his administration in India and Canada, and I have had the further advantage of talks and consultations with many of his friends. From the Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition: Gilbert John Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound, 4th earl of Minto, 1845-1914, British colonial administrator. He entered the army in 1867, eventually becoming (1884) military secretary to Lord Lansdowne, governor-general of Canada. As a popular governor-general himself (1898-1904) Minto maintained cordial relations with the Canadian prime minister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier. He then served (1905-10) as viceroy of India. He worked with John Morley to produce the Morley-Minto reforms (1909), which increased native membership on the advisory legislative councils of the viceroy and began India's advance to self-rule.

BUCHAN, JOHN (Lord Tweedsmuir) Pilgrim's Way : An essay in recollection
Cambridge Houghton Mifflin Co. 1940 Hard Cover Good in Good dust jacket
336 pages, cloth, dj, ex-library with usual library markings otherwise very good. From the dj: Only a week before his death, Lord Tweedsmuir finished the final revision of a unique autobiography. This 'Essay in Recollection,' as he called it, tells the story of his life against a background of his literary work and public service. It begins with a vivid picture of his Scottish childhood, and comes to its first climax in the story of his experiences during the South African War. Then, after a chapter on the middle years of busy publishing and widespread social contract, we reach the Great War, in which as attaché to G.H.Q. in France and director or Intelligence and Information for the War Cabinet, he occupied a singularly effective observation post. Next comes the post-war years in Parliament, the author's views of America and of modern literature, leading to a final significant chapter, presenting, as he says, 'reflections of a philosophic optimist in evil times.'
