Item description from seller

175/170 COPIES (from an overall edition of 200), printed in dark green, title-page with Lawrence Phoenix device, pp. [ii], 8, [ii], 8vo, original cream card wrappers, olive green dustwrapper with printed label, near fine. An intriguing edition, with Sagar's illuminating introduction preceding the third version of the Foreword, published here for the first time, in which Lawrence reflects upon the government's seizure of his original typescript on the grounds of obscenity: 'There is nothing in the obscene words to be afraid of. they are like any other words, and all our fear hysteria was merely poor crude savage taboo-terror, nothing in it.'; continuing with a critique of Bolshevism and concluding, 'The mass, unopposed would certainly destroy mankind. It is for the minority to fight for existence of the sane, free, whole individual.'.
