PRESS IS PRAISED HIGHLY "The Life of Miranda" by Wil liam Spence Robertson Des tined To Become One of Out standing Biographies of Year. (By E. C. Daniel, Jr.) The Life of Miranda by Wil liam Spence Robertson, a pub lication of the University Press, has, since its recent appearance, become one of the outstanding biographies of the year. And if one is to judge by the state ments of numerous literary critics printed in the daily press, this popularity of, the book is due almost wholly to the roman tic circumstances surrounding career of the principal charac ter, and, what is more interest ing to those adventures of the author in seeking out the source material for his two volumes. A series of seven reviews and critiques, appearing in news papers from. Hartford, Conn., to Galveston, Texas, have car ried detailed accounts of the glamorous appeal of the book and of the valuable discovery of the personal papers of Fran cisco de Miranda.1, In addition, the Associated Press also sent out recently a despatch con cerning The Life of Miranda that wTas printed in the book sec tions of its allied papers all over the nation. Quoting from the Associated Press review: "Detective work of a high order in locating the lost archives of Miranda, fam ous South American patriot, after they had been missing a hundred years, has brought in ternational fame to William Spence Robertson, professor of history at the University of Illi nois." The archives are "of international importance as source material" since Miranda was the "only known participant in the American, French, and South American revolutions." This last quotation is from the New York World, which publi cation used among its book re views for the past Sunday a lav ishly written article by Law rence C. Woodman, with a two column heading. A reviewer for the Galveston (Texas) Daily News, while con fessing that before he read Rob ertson's book he had never heard of Francisco de Miranda, de clared it to be "difficult to name any historical figure who lived a more spectacular life" than he. The Saturday Review of Lit erature also generously displays a criticism of the book written by L. S. Meyer of New York University. Mr. Meyer states in beginning his article the famous approximation of Miran da as made by Napoleon, "He is a Don Quixote with this dif ference that he is not mad." Continuing with a brief sketch of the accomplishments of the hero of Dr. Robertson's book, he concludes: "In one respect the" author differs from the ma jority of present-day biograph ers. He is far more concerned with his subject's role in his tory than with his private life. . . . It is also refreshing to find a biography in which no attempt is made to psychoanalyze the subject. ... The picture of the Venezuelan patriot is historical ly accurate and the most com plete yet presented. It will un doubtedly take its place among the best biographies produced Continued en last page)
