ONE OF 1,000 SETS, printed on mould-made paper, 166 reproductions of drawings, photographs and diagrams, 2 maps printed in black and red within original faintly spotted envelope (laid in at rear of first volume), pp. [ii], 56; [iv], 60, crown 4to, original half brick-red morocco with cream cloth sides, the backstrips lettered in gilt between five raised bands, faint adhesive show-through to cloth at edges of morocco, t.e.g., others untrimmed and faintly toned, very good. A particularly good set. Lawrence's thesis for his Final Examination in History at Oxford, the result of numerous European trips, many made on a bicycle with a particularly high gear, custom-built by Morris of Oxford, and a journey to the East in the hot summer of 1909. Lawrence's contention, in opposition to contemporary thinking, was that many military architectural improvements of the era were developed in Europe and introduced by the Crusaders to the Near East. Published a year after Lawrence's death, with assistance from his brother, A.W. Lawrence, who contributes the Foreword to the first volume. (Chanticleer 112; O'Brien, 132).
