Item description from seller

Very Good (narrow bank of discoloration along front edge of front & rear cover, bit of toning endpapers; contents clean & tight); worn (half-inch chip across top of spine, with small chips at bottom, price-clipped, lacks the rear flap) d/j. Both the book and its dust jacket are uncommon, especially the dust jackets. Thick 8vo., blue cloth in dust jacket; 560 pages First Edition. Signed presentation from Rosenman on the front endpaper, to an associate in the FDR administration: ?To my friend Charlie Parlin?New Dealer in heart and mind! With kindest regards from his ship-mate. Samuel I. Rosenman.? Samuel Irving Rosenman [1896-1973] was an American lawyer, judge, Democratic Party activist and presidential speechwriter. He coined the term "New Deal" and helped articulate liberal policies during the heyday of the New Deal coalition. He was the first person to hold the position of White House Counsel. Charles C. Parlin, a former senior partner in the law firm of Shearman & Sterling and a past president of the World Council of Churches and the World Methodist Council, also worked in the FDR administration. President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed him to represent the United States on a wartime mission to Germany in 1940, and President Harry S. Truman named him a special ambassador on a mission to Liberia in 1955. Parlin was named in 1961 to a presidium of six church leaders of the World Council of Churches, the first American layman to hold such a position. He served as a president of the council until 1968. He was president of the World Methodist Council, a policy-making body, in 1970 and 1971. He was also a member of the general board of the National Council of Churches in the United States.
