MACMILLAN, Harold.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Autobiography. First editions, first impressions of all but the sixth volume (third impression), signed by the author on the title page of each volume. This is the complete set of Macmillan's autobiography, which, in six volumes, is the most extensive memoir by any British prime minister."Intended as three volumes, the memoirs spread into six, for the author was his own publisher. But the expansion should not be regretted: the volumes are an unusually candid account of a political life, in the sense that they follow very closely the contemporary diaries (even when the latter are not being quoted). Even more unusually for a prime minister's memoirs, they admit mistakes" (ODNB).
