London: Thomas Nelson & Sons, 1915. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Wraps. The format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. [2], 132 pages, plus covers. Illustrations. Front cover has map of Germany and Belgium. Cover has some wear and soiling. Spine has wear and tears. Texts in English, French, German, and Belgian. Based on 'A Word to the Reader.' We have collected a certain number of texts, facsimiles and other photographs of such a nature as to give an accurate picture of the heroic but deplorable situation of Belgium in the present war....It is not our purpose here, to reply to the systematic propaganda which has been carried on in neutral countries with an energy which is sufficient in itself to condemn it. Nothing is more convincing than the naked truth, and in the case of Belgium, the truth appears in a triple light....The reader will find, first of all, in the following pages, the story of Belgium's claim to independence...We shall next see in what manner Belgium met the threats and actual violation of her rights...Finally, by the contemplation of a long succession of appalling occurrences, we shall know by what systematic cruelty, injustice, and violation of the laws of war and of humanity itself, the aggressor has places a prosperous country under his yoke. The texts which have been reproduced speak for themselves, and may be verified in the historical and juridical works from which they have been collected, or in the newspapers of neutral or hostile countries which have called our attention to them...[and] enable the reader to realize the enormous extent of the damage inflicted on the victims of the invasion. Henri Davignon 1879-1964 was a noted Belgium author. More

London: T. Fisher Unwin, Ltd., 1916. presumed First Edition, First printing [thus]. Pamphlet. 19, [1] pages. Cover has some wear and soiling. Edward Grey, 1st Viscount Grey of Fallodon, KG, Bt, PC, DL, FZS (25 April 1862 – 7 September 1933), better known as Sir Edward Grey (he was 3rd Baronet Grey of Fallodon), was a British Liberal statesman. An adherent of the "New Liberalism", he served as foreign secretary from 1905 to 1916, the longest continuous tenure of any person in that office. He is probably best remembered for his "the lamps are going out" remark on 3 August 1914 on the outbreak of the First World War. He signed the Sykes-Picot Agreement on 16 May 1916. Ennobled in 1916, he was Ambassador to the United States between 1919 and 1920 and Leader of the Liberal Party in the House of Lords between 1923 and 1924. After the outbreak of World War I, the conduct of British foreign policy was increasingly constrained by the demands of a military struggle beyond Grey's control. During the war, Grey worked with Marquess of Crewe to press an initially reluctant ambassador to the United States, Sir Cecil Spring Rice, to raise the issue of the Hindu-German Conspiracy with the American government; this ultimately led to the unfolding of the entire plot. Grey retained his position as Foreign Secretary when Asquith's Coalition Government (which included the Conservatives) was formed in May 1915. In an attempt to reduce his workload, he left the House of Commons for the House of Lords in July 1916, accepting a peerage as Viscount Grey of Fallodon, in the County of Northumberland. More
