. . And now supply the investigator with much material" (page xi). In both the geographical and the literary sense the pro- portions are quite well distributed, except that Paraguay is omitted altogether, Bolivia is dismissed with a paragraph or two, and the account of the colonial period is unduly brief. The objects, plan and scope of the work having thus been indicated, the precise nature of its contribution to knowledge is now to be discussed. At the outset the reader familiar with condition...s in the countries under survey is disposed to ask why -Dr. Coester chose the title " Literary History, " rather than " History of Literature. " Quite apart from the point whether or not he believes that there is no such thing as " literature " in the region concerned, and apart also from the avowed limitation of scope, he does not state specifically his determination to include chiefly products of the imagination alone. The implied distinction he makes, therefore, between " literary " and " literature " is not entirely obvious.
