A privately printed facsimile reprint of the original 1938 publication.  Undated but from appearances circa 1980.  136pp.  Stiff card covers with stiff, clear Perspex bound over the front panel.  8vo.   Some shelf wear to Perspex, and the rear cover is a little creased and bumped around edges.  Internally neat, clean, bright and tight.

An inscribed compliment’s slip from the author’s grandson loosely laid in, referring to his ‘grandpa’s book’ and explaining the faults in the production.  This would appear to be a facsimile copy of the 1938  original publication, arranged for by the author’s family and reproduced from a family held copy.  

Sir Odo Russell (1870-1951)  the second son of the first Lord Ampthill, was a British diplomat who served as ambassador to Switzerland, the Vatican and the Netherlands.  These are his memoirs.
