- W10857253 abstract "The first of these is a gem. Multi-faceted, it sparkles in many ways. This volume was a long time a-bornin Conceived as a bicentennial effort at the Polish Museum of America in Chicago, the project encountered various production difficulties, money problems and changes in the original notion of publishing all of the Museum's considerable manuscript holdings. While the scope was eventually narrowed to the Kosciuszko-related material of the Revolutionary War presented here, the end result shows that often is more. Everyone connected with the publication is to be highly commended and should feel proud of his contribution. A particularly heartening factor is that financial aid for publishing this volume was in part supplied through the efforts of the Legion of Young Polish Women in Chicago. Such cooperative ventures within Polonia for worthwhile cultural projects is cheering, since all too often elements within the Polish-American com munity are divisive. While the cost of this book is high ($25.00), it is to be hoped that Polonia at large will purchase this excellent volume so that the considerable costs can be recouped, thus encouraging the Polish Museum to undertake further publications of this high caliber of their other materials. This large, handsome volume cannot be faulted. Everything about it is estheti cally pleasing: the binding is elegant; the paper of fine quality; the sepia colored print beautiful and appropriate; the reproductions of the letters so good that they give the quality of the originals. It is virtually free of misprints, although Kosciuszko's name once appears without the z. Thus, a book for the bibliophile. The whole collection of letters which are either written by Kosciuszko or by other notables during the American Revolutionary War period to or about Kosciuszko is superbly edited by Metchie J. E. Budka who gives illuminating commentary to bind the disparate material into a cogent whole. In fact the commentary he supplies is so good, one almost wishes he were less laconic and sparing and more intrusive him self. The scholarly apparatus and the footnotes, however, are without doubt" @default.
