About This Item
Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1925. Octavo. The scarce 1st variant of the 1925 edition in the original blue cloth with the plate showing the Old South Church incorrectly as the place where Patrick Henry gave his famous speech. Early in the process the plate of Boston Harbor was substituted at page 271. Roberts A17. Lawrence wrote this work as a textbook for schools originally under the pseudonym Lawrence H. Davidson since the publisher did not want to be associated with his penchancy for writing about sex. It was more than just another textbook as Mark Kinkead-Weekes has shown the connection between other Lawrence texts and his letters. It is now believed that Lawrence prepared the maps at the rear of the book by himself. A very good copy with fading to spine, little tiny edge tears to head of spine, a few spots of rubbing to joints, corners lightly worn, a bit of bubbling to cloth on upper board.
