July 26; but, "of .them all, perhaps the. most significant gift was sent from, across the Atlantic, thousands of miles from London. That was ": the message that came" from this University village when , Dr. Archibald Henderson, the man whom Shaw appointed as his of ficial ; biographer, cabled "these words: ' 1 v "Have just completed the story of your life and am rush ing advance copy tp y qu Many happy returns." ' ;' : ' Preceded by Older Work That was the 'first announce ment that Henderson's : new work was ready for publication. Henderson's George Bernard Shaw : His Life and Work (1911) was described by Profes sor William Lyon Phelps as "perhaps the most completely documented biography ever pro duced of a living man," and now the public awaits a' work that promises to be far more compre hensive. , The new biography of Shaw, described as "the greatest of living writers," composes two volumes -that give an intimate view of the life of that Irish wit, from the date of his birth on through the seventy-five many sided years of the man's career and right, up to the moment the volumes go to press. The liter ary world is expected to hail this new work as the greatest of any Dr. Henderson has yet - pub lishedand that takes into con sideration over twenty volumes he has either written, translated, or edited on subjects aside from mathematics, even though he is head of the mathematics depart ment here." , , .

" ' This Work is not, as might' be expected, a continuation of the biography of 1911, but is a com pletely new work' 'For the past twenty years Dr. Henderson has collected letters, lectures, "plays, and other works ' and materials on Shaw 'that 'make up the" most complete 'collection existing."' It is estimated that he 'possesses upwards of thirty 5 thousand documents of every conceivable variety and description. These include a correspondence be tween Shaw and Henderson of twenty-seven years, and copies of many letters of Shaw unpub lished or virtually unknown to the public. r Shaw's Letter Typical of Shaw's letters to Dr. Henderson is this extract giving his prescription for writ ing his biography: v" ' ' : "Write ' boldly according to your bent : say what you WANT to say and not what you think you ought to say or what is right or just or any other arid non sense. You. are not God Al mighty; "and "nobody will expect justice from you or any other superhuman attribute.
