Lawrence’s hook, * The Mint,’ when it was published in the United States, says: “ There is no prospect of its publication in Britain for a quarter of a century.

I have read the book carefully several times, and it is as near genius as ‘ Seven Pillars of Wisdom.’ Few of Lawrence’s fnends were allowed to read the book during Lawrence’s lifetime.
