Re: The 'Gift' of men and the Athrabeth

Don't know about where the comment was written. as for putting the athrabeth in the Silmarillion, I would actually be in favor of that, if in the course of a larger canon council it was approved. I just reread the note in X p.329 that speaks of 'it' being the last item in the appendix.
I am tentatively in favor of interpretating 'it' as the commentary and inserting the Athrabeth into the Silm. As i said above this wa my original thought till I read and assumed the newspaper note reffered to the entirety.

I am def. interested in hearing others on this point.
