American history in new light, Or.
Waldo G. Iceland secretary of the
American Council of Learned Societies,
said in a lecture at the Carnegie In

Mr.. Iceland has supervised the work
of cataloging for the Carnegie Insti-
tuition more than 100000 manuscripts
in the French archives and the libraries
Of Paris which deal with American
affairs. This material has been prac-
tically untouched by historians.
The manuscripts reveal, Mr.. Iceland
said, that France had secret agents in
the colonies long before the outbreak

people and on economic conditions
which were leading to the inevitable
break with England.
One of these men. whose name was

said that he would show his devotion
to Great Britain to the last drop of
his blood. and begged the pardon of the
Speaker and the House if he had said
anything in his zeal for the cause that
could be interpreted as an affront to
the King. Mr.. Iceland read in contrast
to this william Wirt's account of
Henry's speech. from which the popu-
