First edition of Chaim Weizmann's Trial and Error,
the autobiography of Israel's first President, 
signed by the author

WEIZMANN, Chaim.  Trial and Error.  New York: Harper's Brothers, 1949.  Two volumes Original cloth, original dust-jacket, original slip-case.  1 of 500 signed copies.  $2000

"God will look down benignly on his Children who after a long wandering have come home to serve Him with a psalm on their lips and a spade in their hands, reviving their old country and making a center of human civilization."

First edition of the autobiography of the first President of Israel and one of the most important political figures of the 20th century.   Both volumes fine in near-fine dust-jackets that show just minor toning to the spines; one small chip to the spine of volume I and one small closed tear to the upper right corner of the same volume.  An excellent set of a rare and important work.
