BOTH ISSUES OF THE FIRST, LIMITED EDITION, WITH THE PROSPECTUS. 'From these letters it is apparent that Lawrence's friendship with Ede was spontaneous and cordial. Mutual interest in topics of art, literature, morals, and life in general, prompted an intimate, revealing, and introspective honesty in their correspondence. It seems to us that in these letters, more than in any of his others, Lawrence's culture, taste, and wisdom are revealed in sharp contrast with his surprising idiosyncrasies' ( Pertelote ). Shaw-Ede prints 43 of Lawrence's letters to Ede, of which 'only six ... appear in The Letters of T.E. Lawrence ' (O'Brien). (3)
