First edition, first impression, the copy of David Garnett with his ownership signature on the front free endpaper. Liddell Hart produced one of the earliest and most influential biographies of Lawrence, relying on official histories, correspondence with friends and colleagues, and research into Lawrence's own war time papers. David Garnett (1892-1981) was the son of Edward Garnett, the publisher and editorial advisor to Jonathan Cape. He came to share a close friendship with Lawrence, often exchanging letters and giving his thoughts on manuscripts. Garnett was one of the first readers of The Mint and published their correspondence in The Letters of T. E. Lawrence (1938) and Selected Letters of T. E. Lawrence (1952). O'Brien E058. Octavo.

Signed limited edition, number 95 out of 128 copies printed for Liddell Hart and signed by himself and Ronald Storrs. Loosely inserted is a compliments slip from Viscount Carlow, who founded the Corvinus Press in 1936. Carlow had formed a friendship with Lawrence in the early 1930s, which was largely based on a shared interest in book-collecting, fine printing, and languages. They had even discussed setting up a private press - a plan that foundered due to Lawrence's premature death. Lawrence of Arabia prints the speeches by Liddell Hart and Storrs given at a luncheon in memory of Lawrence, about a month after his death; that by Liddell Hart is entitled "Lawrence: The Artist in War and Literature" and that by Storrs, "Lawrence: Himself". The edition comprised 24 copies on Medway paper specially printed for Liddell Hart and Storrs, 25 copies on Boswell paper, 6 copies on Winchmore Blue paper, and 70 further copies on Medway paper. There were also 3 copies kept for the printer. All 128 copies in the edition were signed. O'Brien E101. Arnold Walter Lawrence (ed.), T.E. Lawrence by His Friends, 1968, pp. 182-88. Quarto.

Signed limited edition, number 103 of 128 copies signed by Liddell Hart and Ronald Storrs, inscribed on the front free endpaper "To E. M. Forster, from Carlow. The printer of this book. Nov 22 1936". This copy retains the rare jacket, unknown to O'Brien. The Corvinus Press was established in 1936 by Viscount Carlow, who had formed a friendship with Lawrence in the early 1930s based on a shared interest in book collecting, fine printing, and languages. They had even discussed setting up a private press - a plan that foundered due to Lawrence's premature death. E. M. Forster and Lawrence first met in 1921 at the house of Emir Feisal. Forster was impressed by Lawrence, who was already famous for his exploits in the Arab Revolt. Three years later Siegfried Sassoon asked Forster to read the as-yet unpublished Seven Pillars of Wisdom, which left him so inspired that he wrote a letter of effusive praise to Lawrence: "You will never show it to any one who will like it more than I do: its subject and incidentals suit me: also my critical sense never stops telling me it's fine" (Lawrence, 9). This kindled a friendship that lasted until Lawrence's death, as one of Forster's many queer relationships forged through the intimate exchange of literature. They continued most of their correspondence through letters, discussing and critiquing each other's work, but also visiting in person a number of times. In 1927, Forster dedicated The Eternal Moment and Other Stories, "To TE in the absence of anything else". Lawrence of Arabia prints the speeches by Liddell Hart and Storrs given at a luncheon in memory of Lawrence, about a month after his death; that by Liddell Hart is entitled "Lawrence: The Artist in War and Literature" and that by Storrs, "Lawrence: Himself". The edition comprised 24 copies on Medway paper specially printed for Liddell Hart and Storrs, 25 copies on Boswell paper, 6 copies on Winchmore Blue paper, and 70 further copies on Medway paper. There were also 3 copies kept for the publisher. All 128 copies in the edition were signed. O'Brien E101. Quarto. Original brown quarter hessian cloth, spine lettered in gilt, single gilt rules at spine and corner edges, brown kinari chiri paper boards by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, Corvinus device to front board, top edge gilt, others uncut. With original clear plastic dust jacket and paper flaps. Cloth fresh, title a little offset; jacket with a few chips to edges, rear flap judiciously stabilized: a near-fine copy in very good jacket.

First edition, first impression, of this influential early biography which was central to the formation of the Lawrence myth. Captain Sir Basil Henry Liddell Hart (1895-1970) was one of the leading military thinkers of the 20th century, and his book is often considered the first "serious" Lawrence biography after the sensationalism of Lowell Thomas and Robert Graves. It provides valuable insight into Lawrence's achievements as a strategist "who had the vision to anticipate the guerrilla trend of civilized warfare" (p. 382). Liddell Hard considered that his friend Lawrence "was more deeply steeped in knowledge of war than any other general of the First World War"; a judgement that has been seen as hyperbolic by many in the intervening 80 years, but which in view of current thinking on the increasing prevalence of asymmetric warfare, and counterinsurgency operations seems remarkably prescient. Liddell Hart views Lawrence as a brilliant leader, worthy of comparison to Napoleon, and Marlborough. Using minimal resources against a numerically and technologically superior foe, Lawrence "turned the weakness of the Arabs into an asset, and the strength of the Turks into a debit" (p. 383). O'Brien E058. Octavo. Half-tone portrait frontispiece after Augustus John, 11 similar plates, 5 folding maps. Original red cloth, spine and front cover lettered in gilt, publisher's device in blind on rear cover, top edge red, bottom edge untrimmed. With dust jacket. A few faint stains to cloth, top right corner a little bumped; jacket unclipped, minor chips along edges, spine a touch toned with small skinned patch at foot, front panel with faint tide marks and neat repair to foot: a very good copy in like jacket.

Signed limited edition, number 8 of 12 copies printed for Liddell Hart and signed by himself and Ronald Storrs (out of a total edition of 128), additionally inscribed by Liddell Hart on the front free endpaper "To Marie, my dearest friend since birth, from Basil". This copy retains the rare glassine jacket and flaps, unknown to Philip M. O'Brien, Lawrence's bibliographer. The recipient of the book was surely, given the tender inscription, his childhood nurse Marie Nield: "It was fortunate that I had an angelic nurse, Marie Nield - to her I owed much in every way, and she was a friend for the rest of her life" (Liddell Hart, The Memoirs, vol. I, 1965, p. 6). The Corvinus Press was established in 1936 by Viscount Carlow, who had formed a friendship with Lawrence in the early 1930s, based on a shared interest in book-collecting, fine printing, and languages; they had even discussed setting up a private press - a plan that foundered due to Lawrence's premature death. Lawrence of Arabia prints the speeches by Liddell Hart and Storrs given at a luncheon in memory of Lawrence, about a month after his death; that by Liddell Hart is entitled "Lawrence: The Artist in War and Literature" and that by Storrs, "Lawrence: Himself". O'Brien E101. Quarto. Original sand-coloured half cloth, matching kinari chiri paper sides by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, spine lettered in gilt, single gilt rules at spine and corner edges, Corvinus device to front cover, top edge gilt, others uncut. With the original glassine jacket and paper flaps. Some unsightly foxing to limitation and terminal leaves, the book in all other respects fine, glassine with minor loss and closed tear at extremities yet in a remarkably nice state of preservation. An excellent copy.
