Russia Free. The authorized report of speeches made on 31 March 1917 at the Royal Albert Hall, London, by George Lansbury, H.W. Nevinson, Israel Zangzwill, Robert Williams, Robert Smillie, Maude Royden, Jos. Wedgewood, M.P., Albert Bellamy, Arthur Lynch, M.P., and W.P. Anderson, M.P. 8vo, 22cm, 24p, London: The Herald Office, 21 Tudor Street, Fleet Street, 1917.
Set in Kennerley and printed in black with a decorated title-page; overlapping printed wrappers, stapled, somewhat chipped at extremities. Some light spotting to text. An extremely scarce piece. Despite our fondness for Pelican Press we have not catalogued a copy of this for twenty-five years.
The colophon reads 'printed at the Pelican Press ... by Francis Meynell in the III year of the war but the MCMXVII of our salvation'. Stanley Morison was helping Meynell at this time, between serving 'stretches' as a conscientious objector. (See Meynell, My Lives, p.113)
