New York:::: MacMillan,,,, 1954... First Printing of the First US Edition. A Very Good Plus copy in a Very Good plus unclipped dust jacket with two short closed edge tears, and some light edge wear. This is essentially the British edition with the black cloth binding, British sheets with the Macmillan titlepage cancel added and jacket with the price in pounds and the UK publisher Blackwell on the spine. These letters are, in the main, a record of three lives coming to first flower in the decade before 1914; and it must be said at once that they add little that is new to our direct knowledge of T. E. Lawrence's share in the Arab Revolt, of the writing of The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, or of his later years as an Aircraftman in the R.A.F. But if we ask what manner of young man made the Arabian adventure, here is perhaps the fullest answer likely now to be given. Here we see T. E. Lawrence still unstrained, eager and impish; passionately discovering new horizons of knowledge and beauty ; pouring out the…

From Wiikiipedia: George English was an American Marine was commissioned a second lieutenant. He sailed to the Mediterranean, and was among the first citizens of the United States known to have visited Egypt. Shortly after arriving in Egypt he resigned his commission, converted to Islam and joined Muhammad Ali Pasha as the Topgi Bashi (chief of artillery) in an expedition up the Nile River against Sennar 1820, winning distinction as an officer of artillery. Some historians have noted that "there is a high probability that he became a secret agent" and that his service in Egypt was a part of that intelligence service. He published his Narrative of the Expedition to Dongola and Sennaar (London 1822) regarding his exploits.This volume is the frist American edition, published one year later than the English edition. Considering its age, the book is in excellent condition. All the pages, including the fold-out map preceding the title page are whole without tears or marks, except for a small tear at…
