A Soldier of the Legion. An Englishman's Adventures under the French Flag in Algeria and Tonquin [ First Edition - With an original photographic portrait signed by George Manington ]

Edited by William B. Slater and Arthur J. Sarl, with map and illustrations, 8vo full original red cloth, John Murray, Albemarle Street, London, 1907, xvii-380 pp. with a folding map

Commentaire : Good condition (very small lack on top joints, otherwise a very good copy) for this copy, complete with the 12 illustrations and the folding map, in which was joined an original photographic portrait of George Manington, signed on a paper pasted on the verso, by himself ! This portrait, preserved under silk paper, appears highly scarce, and no other portrait of George Manington appears to be available or published. As explained in the editors' note, 'though well under forty years of age, he had been a student in France and Germany, a prospective doctor in Paris, a soldier in Algeria and Tonquin, a man of commerce in Indo-China, an interpreter, traveller, and journalist in South China, besides a participator in more fleeting occupations in many lands, including Japan and the Philippines. [... ] An educated gentleman, Mr Manington has given an insight into the unusual experiences of an Englishman in the French Foreign[Pg xiii] Legion, such as no ordinary 'mercenary' could have done'.
