Led by Lawrence [antikvár]

PREFACE In a previous book about Arabia I was handicapped by a disinclination to put words into the mouth of a living man, and one of the criticisms levelled against that book was that there was " not enough Lawrence in it." In the present volume I have more or less taken the bit between my teeth, and herein he talks and acts as one of the principal characters. In these pages fiction is often grafted on to fact; but when dealing with Lawrence the wildest fiction might well be true. GURNEY SLADE.
