Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Romantic School in American Archaeology
The moment was most opportune. Boturini's fate had awakened sentimental interest. The collections of long-for gotten manuscripts made by the Spanish Government for the benefit of Munoz caused that government to become approach able to foreign scholars. When, therefore, Robertson undertook to write his great philosophical work, the History of Ameri ca, he had access to sources which Spain alone possessed. His book, while based of course on such sources, applies to their statements much critical scrutiny, and is the first attempt toplace critically reviewed bibliography of America within reach of the public.
