Abstract
Fascinated by the Mexican Indians and the Etruscans, Lawrence spent over two years in New Mexico and Mexico proper, later visiting Etruria.
The two books in this volume are the result of his travels and contain Lawrence's beautifully written musings on departed civilization and the reasons for its decay. They evidence too, the intuitive sympathy with which he could leap into the skins of other people, living or dead. The only thing you can do, as he wrote, is to have a little ghost inside you which sees both ways, or even many ways. This he possessed.
