SMYTH, HENRY DEWOLF. A General Account of the Development of Methods of Using Atomic Energy for Military
Purposes under the auspices of the United States Government 1940-45. 97 leaves printed offset from typescript. 4to, original cream-colored wrappers, stapled.
(Washington, D.C.). August 1945. QC173 .S474 1945a
FIRST ISSUE of the announcement of the work leading to the development of the atomic bomb, SIGNED BY SMYTH on the title-page. This is the rare "lithoprint" version printed offset from typescript in a very small edition for distribution to the press in advance of the 8vo letterpress edition printed shortly after by the USGPO. Released only 5 days after Hiroshima, the Smyth report was "a remarkably full and candid account of the development work carried out. . . under the code name of 'Manhattan District' which culminated in the production of the first atomic bomb." -PMM 422e; Coleman 3.

FIRST (second?) PUBLISHED EDITION of the Smyth report. Coleman 5. There is some uncertainty as to the exact date of issue.
