An unusually fine survival. A SCARCE WORK OF INTEREST TO BOTH DOUGHTY AND T. E. LAWRENCE COLLECTORS. The author David G. Hogarth who died before the book came to publication was the noted archaeologist and scholar associated with both Lawrence and Doughty. He led the Carchemish archeological work in Syria where he employed Lawrence and was also professionally associated with Sir Mark Sykes. Professor Hogarth was appointed the acting director of the Arab Bureau for a time during 1916 when Sir Sykes went back to London. Close with T. E. Lawrence he worked with Lawrence to plan the great Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Turks and Germans. Hogarth introduced Lawrence to Doughty and Lawrence wrote the famous introduction to the 1921 edition of Doughty's TRAVELS IN ARABIA DESERTA.<br> T.E. Lawrence in his introduction to the 1921 edition describes this 'not like other books.a bible of its kind'. In referring to Doughty's own impressions of his effort Lawrence states: 'He calls his book the seeing of a hungry man the telling of a most weary man."<br> ARABIA DESERTA is one of the best-known classics of exploration and travel. Few writers of any genre have worked such magic or mischief on the English language as Doughty. He disapproved of Victorian prose style and mingled his own with Chaucerian and Elizabethan English and Arabic.<br> But whatever the style the result is perhaps the finest book on Arabia ever written. Another Arabist T.E. Lawrence speaks on Doughty: "I have talked the book over with many travellers and we are agreed that here you have all the desert its hills and plains the lava fields the villages the tents the men and animals. They are told of the life with words and phrases fitted to them so perfectly that one cannot dissociate them in memory. It is the true Arabia the land with its smells and dirt as well as its nobility and freedom. There is no sentiment nothing merely picturesque that most common failing of oriental travel-books. Doughty's completeness is devastating. There is nothing we would take away little we could add. He took all Arabia for his province and has left to his successors only the poor part of specialists. We may write books on parts of the desert or some of the history of it; but there can never be another picture of the whole in our time because here it is all said." - from the Introduction.<br> Hogarth's son William made the final revisions needed to his father's long-compiled manuscripts after the elder Hogarth passed in 1927. With the help of Mrs. Doughty Edward Garnett and Sydney Cockerell he was finally able to finish his father's labor of love and bring the work to publication. Oxford University Press.

A VERY FINE COPY OF THE LETTERS TO T. E. LAWRENCE COLLECTED AND EDITED BY HIS BROTHER. SOON WOULD COME THE MOVIE VERSION OF 'LAWRENCE OF ARABIA' STARRING PETER O'TOOLE. In A. W. Lawrence's own words "In recent years my brother has been inadequately portrayed or mis-portrayed in books and on the stage and if he is made the subject of a film the limitations of that medium will at the best entail an extreme simplification of the character. As a corrective I am publishing some letters to him selected from the very large number preserved in the belief that they will throw light upon their recipient no less than upon their writers. To me at any rate his personality is reflected distinctly by the collection as a whole." <br> Among the writers of the letters will be found; A. J. Balfour Gertrude Bell Edmund Blunden Wilfrid Scawen Blunt Robert Bridges H. G. Wells John Buchan Winston Churchill Noel Coward E. M. Forster George B. Shaw Augustus John and Ezra Pound. A fascinating look into the times and the people that made it so historically significant. Jonathan Cape hardcover

1925163169London: His Majesty's Stationery Office 1925. The confidential nature of Clayton's successive offices necessarily obscured the importance of his achievements First appearance in print first impression of the English text of the Hadda and Bahra Agreements negotiated by Sir Gilbert Clayton and Ibn Saud. The printer's slug records that 1125 copies were printed in January 1926 one month after the agreements were presented to Parliament by Leo Amery the colonial secretary and the future political nemesis of Neville Chamberlain. As Ibn Saud continued to expand his power base in the early and mid-1920s "the turbulent events. precipitated British diplomatic intervention. this led to a series of missions to the Hejaz led by Sir Gilbert Clayton between 1925 and 1928" Leatherdale p. 138. The accords reached in 1925 established a tribunal to rule on frontier disputes and placed limitations on the movements of traditionally peripatetic tribes. On the part of Ibn Saud participation in the agreement was a deliberate diplomatic strategy designed to maintain British neutrality vis-à-vis his broader geopolitical goals. Concerning Clayton M. W. Daly observes that "while colleagues and subordinates such as T. E. Lawrence achieved worldwide fame the confidential nature of Clayton's successive offices necessarily obscured the importance of his achievements" ODNB. Octavo pamphlet pp. 16.
