THE DAILY TAR HEEL Thursday, February 6, 1930 Pace Four Robertson Aided By Discovery Of Archives (Continued from first page) patched them to the office of the third Lord Bathurst; thin sec retary of war arid colonies, and were deposited among ''tfie f state papers. It was by the permis sion of the present Lord Bath urst that Mr. Robertson was able to inspect the 63 folio vol umes' that make tip the collec tion, which were until their re cent sale to the Venezuelan gov ernment virtually lost in the li brary of the Bathurst family at Cirencester in Gloucestershire. A lengthy description of the record is offered in the Review, from which the following are excerpts: "This collection is composed of 63. folio volumes that span the years from 1764 to 1810. Their contents are ex tremely varied, for in his legajos Miranda filed prescriptions, menus, broadsides, "pamphlets, and squibs. . . . Interlaced among letters, memoranda, and dairies can be found invitations to dances, dinners and clubs, clip pings from journals in France, England and the . United States, a visiting card of George Wash ington. . ... . "Miranda's memorabilia con tain a multitude of papers that should be useful to students of both European and American history. . . . These manuscripts possess much more than a series of unedited personal records. Miranda not only kept signifi cant memoranda concerning his own activities, but also fugitive memoirs of his contemporaries. v "Scarcely - less significant to historical students is the fact that . . . Miranda left in his Archives a veritable legion of personal memoranda in their original form. . ... In particular he preserved many informing documents regarding his long J sustained efforts to free the In dies from Spanish domination. "To students of American his tory the most interesting part of Miranda's diary is that which describes his tour of the United States just after the close of the Revolutionary War. With a keen zest he met teachers, farmers, lawyers, statesmen and generals . , . and conversed with such Revolutionary heroes as Samuel Adams, Alexander Hamilton and George Washington. "Other parts of this romantic diary describes Miranda's re markable tour of Europe from Vienna to the Crimea, and from Athens to Lapland. ... Among the most fascinating pages of his biography are those which depict his relations with the enigmitical autocrat Catherine the Great who became his pa tron." "' J : ' Perhaps not realizing that he was to be the artist himself, Mr. Robertson said of these ar chives, "Scattered through this material the biographer of the future should find pigments that will enable him to paint Miran da's moral portrait." ' The Life of Miranda does just that with a vividness unsurpassed,' an ex traordinary attention' to detail, and adherance to fact.

Christianity, Judaism Related, Says Wise (Continued from first page) but through the life of all. "You," continued the speaker, "are the cause of the Jews not recognizing Christianity. You were the only source by which ! Christianity could be spread to the Jews, but you willed that it not be spread in that direction." He said further that the name Jesus had never passed the lips of his great-grand-father. As a solution to the difficulty resulting from the disagree ments between the Jew and Christian, Dr. Wise stated that the two religions should not be at each other's throat but should "learn the art of living together, remembering always . that the agreements are major and the disagreements are minor, for there is an underlying unity be tween the two religions."

A. under whose auspices Dr. Wise had been brought here, accompanied the party to Danville.
