No, this is not a recently discovered manuscript--rather, a reference to two Mark Twain items appearing in recent publications: ** _The Philadelphia Inquirer_, January 18, 1998, Books Section. "The Argument for Removing Huck Finn from the Bookshelf." Book review by Daniel T. O'Hara, professor of English at Temple University, of _Huckleberry Finn as Idol and Target: The Functions of Criticism in Our Time," by Jonathan Arac, University of Wisconsin Press. O'Hara presents Arac's argument for removal, but has reservations about Arac's book: "Like love, the difficult art of creating or appreciating imaginative pleasure submits to no agenda or program, however well-intentioned." ** _Lost Treasure_ magazine, March 1998. "California: Mark Twain's Treasure Tale." Article by Anthony J. Pallante highlights legendary sites of lost treasure in the state. The first one featured is the "Lost Cement Mine" of _Roughing It_. The writer relates the historical background, including Mark Twain's interest, and concludes, "After all the years and all the legends, the mystery of the Lost Cement mine remains unsolved."
