NEW VOLUME COMING

In Italy Roberts will finish the novel on which he is now working. It deals with another phase of our country's early history. While doing his research for the book Mr. Roberts unearthed valuable historical material hitherto believed by historians not to exist. This will be published in an appendix volume to accompany a special edition of the new book. Never before has a novelist uncovered so many new historical facts that he was obliged, on the advice of historians, to publish these facts in an appendix simultaneously with his novel in order to protect himself from the charge of distorting history and misrepresenting the motives of his characters.
