LAWRENCE (T.E.)Seven Pillars of Wisdom. A Triumph, PRIVATELY PRINTED EDITION, INSCRIBED BY LAWRENCE 'INCOMPLETE COPY. I.XII.26 T.E.S.' on p.XIX, some initials printed in red, 4 folding maps (including 2 duplicates), 31 plates (including 'Prickly Pear', 'Irish Troops being Bombed in the Judean Hills', and portraits of both Lawrence and Lloyd), illustrations in the text, pictorial endpapers, blue half morocco gilt by Roger Coverley & Sons, spine with gilt decoration and lettering ('The Seven Pillars') in six compartments with raised bands, t.e.g. [O'Brien A040], 4to (255 x 188mm.), [Printed for the author by Manning Pike and H.J. Hodgson, 1926]Footnotes:A FINE ASSOCIATION COPY OF THE PRIVATELY PRINTED EDITION OF SEVEN PILLARS, belonging to George Lloyd, who worked alongside Lawrence in Arabia during the time described in Chapters 71 to 73 of the book. Some 170 copies with a full complement of plates were sold to subscribers. In terms of association, these are not as interesting as the 32 or so 'incomplete copies' (lacking some plates, but textually complete) which were given by Lawrence to close friends and colleagues who had served with him during the Arab campaign.Seven Pillars is 'a personal, emotional narrative of the Arab revolt in which Lawrence reveals how by sheer willpower he made history. It was a testimony to his vision and persistence and a fulfillment of his desire to write an epic ... its climax is the Arab liberation of Damascus, a victory which successfully concludes a gruelling campaign and vindicates Lawrence's faith in the Arab' (ODNB). Lloyd first met Lawrence in 1914, whilst working for the Intelligence Department in Cairo, liked him immediately ('a very remarkable fellow'), helped plan the Arab Revolt with him and, in 1917, accompanied him on a mission to destroy the main bridge on the railway line from Mecca, and onwards to El Jaffer. In Seven Pillars Lawrence describes Lloyd, who was riding a horse gifted to him by Emir Feisel, as 'one of the best fellows and least obtrusive travellers alive... [he] was the rare sort... who could eat anything with anybody, anyhow and at any time', and on parting with him at the end of the journey, remarked 'It was a sorry thing to see Lloyd go. He was understanding, helped wisely, and wished our cause well. Also he was the one fully-taught man with us in Arabia, and in these few days together our minds had ranged abroad discussing any book or thing in heaven or earth which crossed our fancy'. A portrait of Lloyd by William Roberts is included in Seven Pillars.In August 1917 Lloyd, writing from Cairo to Sir Reginald Wingate, predicted with great prescience the success of Seven Pillars, stating that Lawrence 'has done wonderful good work and will some day be able to write a unique book. Generally the kind of man capable of these adventures lacks the pen and wit to record them adequately. Luckily Lawrence is specially gifted with both' (quoted in John Charmley, Lord Lloyd and the Decline of the British Empire, 1987). Their friendship endured until Lawrence's death, Lloyd attending his funeral, and naming his country house Clouds Hill in tribute to Lawrence's cottage home.Provenance: George Lloyd, Baron Lloyd of Dolobran (1879-1941); by descent to the present owner.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The dedication of A Choice Manual is to 'the virtuous and most noble Lady, Latitia Popham', the wife of a supporter of Oliver Cromwell, and A True Gentlewomans Delight is dedicated to Mistress Anne Pile, a baronet's daughter. 'The first book is purely medical, and recommends the usual filthy remedies, e.g. the dung of a peacock for convulsions and powdered earthworms for jaundice...

Although revered in London and Parisian society after its publication, he remained unpopular in his home parish – maybe because he chose to reside in Sutton-in-the-Forest, two miles away, or maybe due to his preference for shooting and other less salubrious pursuits over his ecclesiastical duties. However, he did become close friends with the Croft family at Stillington and Stephen Croft (1712-1798) became an intimate friend and correspondent, who helped Sterne and his wife out financially, as well as championing his works in Yorkshire society and giving him the means to travel to London to promote his book. As Sterne himself writes: 'I remained twenty years at Sutton, doing duty at both places. I had then very good health. Books, painting, fiddling and shooting were my amusements... at Stillington the family of the C__s showed us every kindness; 't was most truly agreeable to be within a mile and a half of an amiable family who were every cordial friends.' (Letters of the Late Rev. Mr. Laurence Sterne, to his Most Intimate Friends, Vol. I, 1776, p.8.). Indeed Croft is widely credited with saving the manuscript of Tristram Shandy from certain destruction. After a fine dinner at Stillington, Sterne chose to read an early draft of his novel to the assembled company. Replete with food and wine, the audience, so the story goes, '...fell asleep, at which Sterne was so nettled that he threw the Manuscript into the fire, and had not luckily Mr Croft rescued the scorched papers from the flames, the work wou'd have been consigned to oblivion.' (John Croft, 'Anecdotes of Sterne vulgarly Tristram Shandy' in The Whitefoord Papers, ed. WAS Hewins, Oxford, 1898). Stephen's brother John Croft also comments in his Anecdotes that Sterne was a 'constant Guest at my brother's Table' (Ian Campbell Ross, Laurence Sterne, A Life, Oxford, 2013, p.101) and, although much of this volume seems to date from after Sterne's time at Stillington, it would however be interesting to speculate whether he sampled any of the receipts included herein.A member of the famous Croft wine-shipping dynasty, Stephen Croft rebuilt Stillington Hall to much admiration, 'was not only an active Whig but also a man who shared Sterne's tastes in painting, music, and literature: in years to come he could commission Joshua Reynolds to paint his portrait [and] act as a director of the York Assembly Rooms...'

In the 1780s she befriended the young Maria Edgeworth, who used her as a model for characters in three of her novels, and after 1792 she became a keen defendant of Mary Wollstonecraft in the face of attacks from some members of the Irish clergy. As an antiquarian Lady Moira was instrumental in encouraging her husband to become one of the founder members of the Royal Irish Academy, and in 1783 she became the first woman to have an article published in Archaeologia when it printed her findings concerning the discovery of a 'bog body' on the Rawdon estate, the first properly documented report on the discovery of a human skeleton.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
