"Christmas Greetings and every good wish from" is printed in red on the facing page, signed in black ink by the British Ambassador to Portugal Nigel Ronald. There are staple holes through the top edge. Very good. A wonderful association, signed by the British ambassador to Portugal, from the estate of the American ambassador to Portugal Lincoln MacVeagh. The British civil servant and diplomat Nigel Ronald (1894-1973) joined the civil service in 1920 after serving with the King's Regiment during the first World War and the Grenadier Guards. Rising through the civil service, he was appointed ambassador to Portugal in 1947. From the estate of Lincoln MacVeagh (1890-1972), a Renaissance man, who graduated from Harvard magna cum laude in 1913. He went on to study languages at the Sorbonne and became fluent in German, French, Spanish, Latin, Greek and Classical Greek. After World War I he became a director of the Henry Holt and Company publishing firm where he became friendly with the poet Robert Frost. In 1923 he left the firm and founded the Dial Press. His name appears on the imprint of many of their publications. In 1933 President Roosevelt appointed him Minister to Greece. He followed presentation of his credentials with a speech in Classical Greek. While in Greece he conducted excavations beneath the Acropolis and made archeological contributions to the National Museum in Athens. He left Greece in 1941 when the German army over ran the country. From there he was appointed the first US Minister to Iceland where he negotiated agreements for the construction of the Keflavik airfield. In late 1942 he became Minister to the Union of South Africa and coordinated American wartime agencies there. In 1943 he was sent to Cairo as Ambassador so that he could assist the governments in exile of Greece and Yugoslavia. He returned to Athens as Ambassador in 1944. MacVeagh gave secret testimony before Congress concerning the Balkans in 1947, testimony that was an important factor in the formation of the Truman Doctrine. In 1948 as Ambassador to Portugal MacVeagh was influential in admitting her into NATO. In 1952 President Truman named him Ambassador to Spain. President Truman wrote to him on March 9, 1948: "On the occasion of your appointment as Ambassador to Portugal, I would like to make some personal expression of appreciation for the high services you have already rendered your country. During the past fifteen critical years you have served with distinction as Chief of the United states Missions to Iceland, the Union of South Africa, Yugoslavia and Greece. In this last post especially - as Minister from 1933 to 1941 and as Ambassador since 1943 - your scholarly statesmanship and diplomatic judgment have been of the utmost value.".

The lecture is for the most part an account of the progress of the restoration of "The Lion of Amphipolis" to date. "While the collaboration of the French and American Schools was thus producing unexpected results, the Greek authorities were also helping, and besides giving the whole enterprise their blessing, kindly accorded the schools the collaboration of Mr. Panayiotakis of the National Museum. This able sculptor spent weeks at Amphipolis, again thanks to the Monks-Ulen Companies, which lent their camp and collected the necessary workmen and tools for his operations. With great effort and patience, far from the conveniences of the city, Mr. Panayiotakis successfully carried through the task of making moulds, some of them of truly gigantic size, of all the existing fragments of the Lion. From these he made casts on the spot, and again with the help of the engineers, fitted these together under an enormous shed, and provided in plaster the missing pieces to complete the whole figure. This year it is planned to put the actual fragments themselves together and make the missing parts out of marble cement of a color agreeable to the rest." Lincoln MacVeagh (1890-1972), a Renaissance man, graduated from Harvard magna cum laude in 1913. He went on to study languages at the Sorbonne and became fluent in German, French, Spanish, Latin, Greek and Classical Greek.

Following are a few examples of the profuse notes that MacVeagh has written in the margins. Page 11: "An example of the quickness of the French to learn from experience. Another example is the flexible defense of entrenched zones adopted by Petain." Page 13: "The French neutralized the success of Strantz at St. Mihiel by taking and holding Les Eparges." Page 17: "A. Strategic Reason I. to anticipate a general offensive on the part of the Allies." Pages 18/19: "Verdun held & the French was a constant menace to the German communications - a thorn in the side of the German Front. (It was from Verdun northward that the first blow of the war was struck, ending in the breaking of the German System of Communications at Mezieres, the cutting off the Champagne armies from Metz, then the armistice!)." Page 21: "To distract public attention from the difficulty of supporting life under the Blockade & Hearten the people in a great victory." Page [61], the half-title of Livre II: "The attack on Verdun was planned as a frontal attack between Brabant on the Meuse and Ornes at the eastern declivity of the Heights of the Meuse. Subsidiary attacks were made on the left of the Meuse and south along the heights of the Meuse, The axis of the main attack was the road Beaumont - Vacherauville. The attack never progressed beyond the line Ft Douaumont (not the village) - Cote du Poivre, which is the most thoroughly destroyed bit of landscape I have seen in France."
