1923181603London: His Majesty's Stationery Office 1923 but 1924. Lines in the sand First trade edition one of 250 copies of the text of the Paulet-Newcombe Agreement including three maps delineating the newly agreed Palestine-Syrian border. The agreement was signed in March 1923 a few months before the Britain's Palestine mandate came into force. Whitehall was represented in the Anglo-French negotiations by Lieutenant-Colonel Stewart Francis Newcombe 1878-1956 a close wartime associate of Lawrence of Arabia who is cited frequently in Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Newcombe was commissioned into the Royal Engineers in 1898 and transferred into the Egyptian Army in 1901. Shortly before the outbreak of war he travelled to southern Palestine in the company of Lawrence and Leonard Woolley to complete a secret survey for the British government - "this initial encounter with Lawrence set up a lifelong friendship between the professional soldier and the young scholar-archaeologist. Newcombe's extraordinary exploits and courage coupled with an inexhaustible supply of energy made him a legend in the desert causing the Arabs to complain that 'Newcombe is like fire he burns friend and enemy'" ODNB. In 1935 he was one of the six pallbearers at Lawrence's funeral. According to the printer's slug the agreement was first published in July 1923 in the Parliamentary Papers series. Octavo pp. 16. With 3 folding colour maps. Text in English and French. Original printed self-wrappers. Wrappers and maps repaired with archival tape rear cover chipped: very good. Khalidi & Khadduri 1648. unknown

1939184044London: His Majesty's Stationery Office 1939. I am empowered in the name of the Government of Great Britain to give the following assurances First edition representing the first official publication of the deeply contentious McMahon-Hussein correspondence which cast a shadow over the future of Palestine for decades. The British Government released the full letters during the St James's Palace Conference in response to mounting pressure over the precise wording of McMahon's commitments. Shortly after the release a committee was formed to examine the precise implications of the letters. It concluded that "His Majesty's Government were not free to dispose of Palestine without regard for the wishes and interests of the inhabitants of Palestine". British representatives on the committee maintained that Palestine was excluded from McMahon's commitments but agreed that "the language in which its exclusion was expressed was not so specific and unmistakable as it was thought to be at the time" p. 10. Octavo pp. 18. With colour folding map. Original printed self-wrappers wire-stitched as issued. 15 March 1939 ownership mark of Harold Meek 1922-2016 architectural historian typed at head of title page.

1939186857London: Issued by the Jewish Agency for Palestine 1939. Second impression of the Jewish Agency's response to the publication of the McMahon Letters correspondence purportedly showing Britain agreeing to Arab independence including over Palestine prior to the Balfour Declaration. The agency interpreted the letters as confirmation that Palestine was always treated separately and not included in territory to be granted to the Arabs. The McMahon Letters were published by the British Government early in 1939 in an attempt to clarify Britain's historical position. This response cites substantiating documents including government statements and T. E. Lawrence's 18 November 1922 draft preface for Seven Pillars of Wisdom. The colour map emphasizes that Palestine amounts to only one per cent of territory under Arab rule. The second impression was published the same year as the first. Octavo pp. 20. With colour folding map of "Arab Territories and Palestine" text on verso. Original printed wrappers wire-stitched as issued front cover lettered in black. A hint of soiling to wrappers and light stain at foot of contents. A very good copy. unknown
1930188559Jerusalem: Matba'at D r al-ayt m al-S r yah 1930. The Hope Simpson Report First Arabic edition of Sir John Hope Simpson's groundbreaking report with only two other copies traced at the American University of Beirut and the National Library of Israel. It was published in the same year as the English edition. After a successful career as a diplomat and politician Simpson 1868-1961 was sent to the British Mandate of Palestine subsequent to the 1929 riots to chair a British commission addressing Jewish land settlement and Zionist policies. The report discusses Palestine's natural conformation and climate the impact of Jewish land ownership on the economy and the resulting widespread unemployment among the Arab population which was a cause of unrest. It also addresses demographic changes and public health services including anti-malaria prophylaxis as well as irrigation projects the types of land and its ownership present in Palestine and legislation concerning Bedouin land rights. A pivotal observation is the economic imbalance between the Jewish settlers and the Arab population. The report concludes that "there is at the present time and with the present methods of Arab cultivation no margin of land available for agricultural settlement" and that "it is impossible to give. a reliable estimate of the number of families who could be accommodated in Palestine if the whole country were adequately developed". Quarto. Original blue wrappers wire-stitched as issued.
