Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. As a young Army officer, Robert Baden-Powell was stationed in Malta as an aide to his uncle, General Sir Henry Augustus Smyth. While there, he also served as intelligence officer for the Mediterranean for the Director of Military Intelligence and it was in this role that he had many of the adventures described in this book, travelling to investigate fortifications. Written in 1915, and including Baden-Powell's thoughts on German espionage before and in the first years of the First World War, My Adventures as a Spy describes such techniques as how to convey secret information using drawings of butterfly wings, how to quickly disguise yourself, how to safely produce plans of fortresses and observe troops and how to get past sentries. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Manuskript / Papierantiquität
'Scouting for Boys' did not begin its serialized publication until January 1908, but Baden-Powell's entry in the Oxford DNB states that it was Haldane, as Secretary for War, who 'persuaded him that character training should be at the centre of any scheme of boy instruction', following a 'major inspection' of the Boys' Brigade by him as Vice-President at Glasgow in April 1904. 1p, 4to. In fair condition, lightly aged, with slight creasing and a short closed tear to one edge. Reads: 'Dictated. / 23rd. May 1906. / Dear General Baden-Powell, / Thank you for your letter. I have seen Sir Edwad Ward about your scheme, and he is to have a meeting with you. / Believe me, / Yours sincerely, / [cyclostyled signature] R. B. Haldane'. At the time of the letter Sir Edward Ward (1853-1928) was Permanent Under-Secretary at the War Office.
