COBB, Humphrey.
Advance Copy of a Novel (As Yet Untitled). [Paths of Glory.] New York: Viking, 1935. Advance Uncorrected proof of 'Paths of Glory.' 8vo., orig. printed cream wrappers. Spine slightly browned with creasing o/w a very nice example of this proof. The publishers' blubs on the upper wrapper advertises a contest asking readers to submit titles for Cobb's novel. 'The Viking Press will pay $50 for the best title submitted on or before April 10, whether it is used or not.' The information includes names of the judges, terms of use of the title, and states that only 500 proofs will be distributed--although the add 'your copy may be passed on to other readers, and each reader may submit a title.' The publisher urges contestants to submit titles that are 'arresting, appropriate, original, easy to remember, and should not give such information as to lessen the reader's interest in the conclusion of the story.' According to a piece in the New York Times (April 23rd, 1935), the winning title was announced as 'Day of Glory'. However, the article indicates that the name 'may be changed' as 'the Book Club is not entirely satisfied with it.'

John DukeLord Coleridge, 1ST Baron (1820-1894), justice of England, was the eldest son of Sir John Taylor Coleridge. "He was born at Heath's Court, Ottery St Mary, on the 3rd of December 1820. He was educated at Eton and Balliol College, Oxford, of which he was a scholar. He was called to the bar in 1846, and went the western circuit, rising steadily, through more than twenty years of hard work, till in 1865 he was returned as member for Exeter in the Liberal interest . The Liberals returned to power in good time with a large majority behind them in 1868. Coleridge was made, first solicitor-, and then attorney-general. The Tichborne trial was the most. conspicuous feature of Coleridge's later years at the bar, and tasked his powers as an advocate to the uttermost, though he was assisted by the splendid abilities and industry of Charles (afterwards Lord) Bowen. In November 1873 Coleridge succeeded Sir W. Bovill as chief justice of the common pleas, and was immediately afterwards raised to the peerage as Baron Coleridge of Ottery St Mary. In 188o he was made lord chief justice of England on the death of Sir Alexander Cockburn.In jury cases his quickness in apprehending facts and his lucidity in arranging them were very remarkable indeed. He was not one of the most learned of lawyers, but he was a great deal more learned than many people believed him to be, and as an ecclesiastical lawyer had perhaps few or no superiors."
