With Northcliffe in Fleet Street: A Personal Record

Northcliffe (Viscount). Hammerton (J.A.)   Hutchinson & Co.,   [1932] First Edition     Spine faded and covers somewhat marked and spotted, but internally a nice copy. Inscribed by the author on the front free end-paper: “From No. 1 to No. 4 [Hamilton Fyfe] (two of the Nine - how many more?) Ever Yours JAH”   The cryptic inscription is a reference to the first chapter, “Nine Authors in Search of a Character”, where Hammerton lists authors who had attempted biographies or reminiscences of Northcliffe, Hamilton Fyfe’s Northcliffe: An Intimate Biography (1930) being the fourth on the list.
