Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm, xiv, 281 pp, [8] pp of plates. From the blurb - "Tom Moore has been unjustly neglected. He was Byron's favourite friend and wrote the first Life. His melodics are still among the loveliest songs in the language. Sir John Betjeman has recently said that some of his lyrics are better than Byron's. Apart from this, the entry of a grocer's penniless son from Dublin into Regency society is a unique success story. Moore said of himself that he was something of a show child. Tiny - he never grew to more than five feet - he charmed all who came his way. He was contributing poetry to magazines at thirteen. In Trinity College Dublin he made a figure, and took part in debates with Robert Emmet, against whom he refused to give evidence after the Rebellion of 1798. While in Trinity he made translations of Anacreon. With these in his pocket he went to London, aged 20. Within six months he was made free of the London drawing-rooms, where he sang his own songs, accompanying himself. The Prince Regent accepted the dedication of his first poems. He laughed with Sydney Smith, listened to Macaulay, rollicked with Byron; and when Sir Walter Scott took him to the theatre in Edinburgh, the audience rose to its feet and cheered first their own hero, then the Irish one. Moore is often criticised for having agreed with John Murray, the publisher, to the burning of Byron's Memoirs, which had been given by the poet to Moore to edit after his death. Mr White's book makes clear that Moore was not either in a position to prevent the destruction or in favour of it." Top edge slightly dust-stained, otherwise Good in slightly used dustwrapper.

First Edition. With many illustrations on full-page plates and maps throughout the text. 8vo, publisher's original brown cloth, the spine lettered in gilt. xii, 352 pp. A fine copy, portions of the dustjacket tipped in at the front of the book, textual considerations printed by the publisher at the front and rear flaps of the dustjacket tipped into the rear of the volume. FIRST EDITION. The publisher notes that the author, in this book, shows us where the genius of T.E. Lawrence really lay; 'making his hypnotic influence believable and explains the dedication to SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM giving us a deeper insight into that extraordinary work. Through his own experience of Iraq and Egypt, his friendships with Arab statesmen, fellahin, bedouin and scholars, the author constantly sifts hard fact from misleading metaphor. The Lawrence we come to know in these pages is courageous, brilliant, fallible and, above all completely real. Stewart has been the first biographer of Lawrence to study in depth the Hogarth papers, containing the correspondence of that archaeologist and spymaster, and the first who has had direct access to contemporary Arab sources: and the Bonn State Archives.'.
