This article from THE LITERARY DIGEST reported on the death of T.E. Lawrence (1888 – 1935) in a freak motorcycle accident which triggered an event within the publishing world that was much discussed in all quarters:
"THE SATURDAY REVIEW of LITERATURE, weekly guide-post for the literati, last week scooped the world with an air-tight exclusive story that was scheduled to be front page news fourteen years hence. The editorial coup was a review of Thomas Edward Lawrence's (Lawrence of Arabia) final book, The Mint
, which by the terms of his will was not to be made known to the world until 1950."
