Memoirs of a British Agent: Being an Account of the Author’s Early Life in Many Lands and of his Official Mission to Moscow in 1918

1932 first edition. The 2011 Frontline Books version (presumably based on the 1974 amended edition(?)) is located at http://booksdescr.org/item/index.php?md5=29F38D008B5302C0DF794C22FA05E623 The first edition does not contain the ~18 photo-plates included in e.g. the 2003 Folio Edition and is uploaded for those curious as to whether the 1974 or later editions made any substantive changes to the text, particularly changes of a 'politically correct' nature.
