Appropriately, the 1956 edition of The Catholic Booklist ushers in this year of jubilee, for one of the objectives of the Association is "to compile bibliographical research aids that will promote Catholic scholarship." Beginning as A Reading List for Catholics in 1940, The Catholic Booklist has admirably fulfilled this objective. Three prominent members of the Catholic Library Association — Mr. John M. O'Loughlin, Sister Mary Luella, O.P., and Sister Stella Maris, £).P. — have served unselfishly as its editors. Many other members have contributed generously of their time and ability to select and annotate this guide. Of these, two deserve particular men- tion since they have been contributing editors to The Cath- olic Booklist from its beginning — Very Reverend Harry C. Koenig, and Miss Clara J. Kircher. The Catholic Booklist con- tinues to flourish because it is the product of cooperation. The Catholic Library Association is happy to be the instru- ment through which this cooperation is made possible. A. Homer Mattlin, S.J.

I lift my lamp; Jesuits in America, Westminster, Md., Newman, 1955. 383p. $4.75 54-12449 Thrilling accounts of sixteen Jesuits who actively participated in the forming of America. From the dauntless explorers of the Mississippi River and the then-dangerous wilds of Georgia and Florida, to chaplains in World War II who trekked into the jungles of the far Pacific, all gave eloquent testimony to their fighting Jesuit traditions and their valiant love of country. WATKIN, EDWARD INGRAM Neglected saints. New York, Sheed and Ward, 1955. 241p. $3.50 55-7478 If one knows all about such saints and beati as BI. Osanna of Mantua, mystic and stigmatic of the 15th century, and St. Hugh of Lincoln, 12th century bishop, this is not the book for him. But if one seeks to find among the vast Communion of Saints new opportunities for prayer, example, and assistance, then these biographies of eight holy men and women will offer some discoveries. 10 THE CATHOLIC BOOKLIST INDIVIDUAL CATHERINE THOMAS OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE, MOTHER My Beloved ; the story of a Carmelite nun. New York, McGraw- Hill, 1955. 252p. $3.50 (W) 55-6175 This detailing of the vocation to and the life within one of the most strictly cloistered orders of the Catholic Church should do much to dispel the misunderstanding surrounding those lively souls who devote their lives to shouting the praises of God in the silence of a cell. Especially valuable is the explanation of what attracted this pretty young girl to the contemplative life, and the satisfactions which kept her there. CECILIA, SISTER The deliverance of Sister Cecilia . As told to William Brinkley, New York, Farrar, Straus and Young, 1954. 360p. $3.75 54-11973 Even those who saw the television presentation of the story will profit from this more intimate, personal narrative of a dauntless Czechoslovak nun who opposed the Communists as long as she could, hid from them for four months, and eventually escaped. The simple, direct, sometimes humorous style adds flavor to the gripping account of a perilous flight to freedom and peace. GOES, BENITO DE, S.J. Schoenberg, Wilfred, S.J. Garlic for Pegasus. Westminster, Md., Newman, 1955. 264p. $3.50 Three hundred years after Marco Polo, a Portuguese Jesuit lay-brother was requested by his superiors to find the lost kingdom of Cathay. Disguised as an Armenian merchant, the resourceful ex-soldier "sought Cathay and found heaven." The reader finds a real cloak and dagger tale—with a moral! HAMILTON, NANCY Hamilton, Marguerite. Red shoes for Nancy. Philadelphia, Lippincott, 1955. 224p. $2.95 55-10463 The story of a mother's enduring faith in God and unselfish devotion to her daughter, a victim of a rare congenital disease of the lymph and blood vessels. The hardships of the mother's struggles to earn money for the necessary operations and the help she received from well-known stage and screen personalities are related with suspense and piety, generously sprinkled with humor. BIOGRAPHY 11 HOUSELANDER, FRANCES CARYLL Rocking-horse Catholic• New York, Sheed and Ward, 1955. 148p. $2.50 55-9445 The early years of a serious, gay, mystical personality known to most Catholic readers. Not a "cradle' 7 Catholic, Caryll was baptized at the age of six. The story of her life in French and English convent schools, her spiritual growth, and her turbulent years of search for a firm faith provides a perceptive, objective, and interesting autobiography. JOAN OF ARC, SAINT Pernond, Regine. The retrial of Joan of Arc; the evidence at the trial for her rehabilitation, 1450-1456• Translated by J. M. Cohen. New York, Harcourt, Brace, 1955. 264p. $4.75 55-9382 The chief archivist of the Museum of French History gives us this account of the retrial which occurred more than twenty years after the death of the Maid of Orleans. The evidence of Joan's family, friends, and neighbors, the stories of soldiers whom she had led into battle, the accounts of noblemen and theologians who had misjudged her, the examination and cross-examina- tion of nearly 1500 witnesses,—this is certainly no less dramatic in its impact than the original trial. LAMENNAIS, HUGUES FELICITE ROBERT DE Yidler, Alexander Roper. Prophecy and papacy; a study of Lamennais, the church and the revolution. New York, Scribner, 1954. 300p. (Cambridge university. Trinity College. Birk- beck lectures) $3.75 54-9320 This study of church history as seen through the life and activities of the Abbe de Lamennais sets his thought against the background of the French Revolution and is in the context of the relations between the Vatican and the church in France during the critical decades of the early nineteenth century. Lamennais always stood on the frontiers where church and state, church and society meet and interact. Some consider him to be the founder of liberal Catholicism and perhaps of Christian socialism. MARY I, QUEEN OF ENGLAND Maynard, Theodore. Bloody Mary. Milwaukee, Bruce, 1955. 297p. $4.95 (W) 55-7865 The author of Queen Elizabeth offers thi sfearless account of another Tudor queen, Henry's elder daughter, whose great desire was to see England Catholic again. Her unfortunate marriage to Philip II of Spain proved to be a blunder, responsible in large part for the opprobrium directed for centuries at her very name. Mary Tudor has long needed Maynard's sort of truth and sympathy to do justice to her memory 12 THE CATHOLIC BOOKLIST NAGAI, PAUL TAKASHI Schilliger, Josef. The saint of the atom bomb. Translated from the German by David Heimann. Westminster, Md., New- man, 1955. 144p. $2.50 55-7051 When the hideous satanic fire works hissed down upon Nagasaki in 1945, anguished cries begged for the assistance of Dr. Paul Nagai, who, although wounded in the blast himself, worked tirelessly to bring succor to his stricken compatriots. The Pope personally cited Dr. Nagai for his efforts, and his grateful countrymen made him a national hero shortly before he died of the effects of the radiation to which he had heroically exposed himself in aiding others. PIUS IX (GIOVANNI MARIA MASTAL FERRETTI), POPE Thornton, Francis Beauchesne. Cross upon cross. New York, Benziger, 1955. 263p. $3.75 Father Thornton has scrupulously examined the archives of the Sacred Congregation of Rites and visited scenes of his subject's early life. He gives us a gripping biography of the holy pope who was caught in the drama of the political upheavals responsible for the loss of the Papal States in the last century. Notable for its clear presentation of the historical and theological phases of the heroic life of the soon-to-be beatified pope. STEIN, EDITH, (in religion SISTER TERESIA BENEDICTA OF THE CROSS, O.C.D.) Graef, Hilda Charlotte. The scholar and the cross ; the life and work of Edith Stein, Westminster, Md., Newman, 1955. 234p. $3.50 54-12447 In the gas chambers of Auschwitb late in 1942, a Carmelite nun was murdered by the Nazis. Edith Stein had been a brilliant philosopher and a convert to Catholicism. Miss Graef presents with characteristic depth and insight both the scholarly and the spiritual achievements of an amazing woman. TALBOT, MATT Purcell, Mary. Matt Talbot and his times. Westminster, Md., Newman, 1955. 278p. $3.50 55-7054 American edition of a book already well-known in Ireland. Miss Purcell, who has already produced other lives of saints, turns her scholarly care to setting forth the main events in the life of the Dublin workman who spent so many years as a slave of drink before he became a servant of the Lord. TARRY, ELLEN The third door; the autobiography of an American Negro woman• New York, McKay, 1955. 304p. $3.75 (W) 55-14466 With her red hair and white skin, Ellen Tarry could easily have "passed," but tfie chose to identify herself as a Negro and to accept all the difficulties BIOGRAPHY 13 which this decision would entail. But no self-pity or patient heroics for this teacher and writer of children's stories; her reactions of resentment and fear prove very human. This autobiography gives Miss Tarry definite status as one of the more articulate of the promising newcomers among Catholic Negro writers. THOMAS A BECKET, SAINT, ABP. OF CANTERBURY Duggan, Alfred Leo. My life for my sheep. New York, Coward-McCann, 1955. 341p. $5.00 (W) 55-10305 The exciting story of Thomas a Beckett, one of the great figures of English church history, is told by a noted writer on the Middle Ages. Beckett's rise from a humble, unknown background to become one of the most powerful figures in England, when Henry II made him Chancellor, is told in a very readable, fictionalized style. TOUSSAINT, PIERRE Sheehan, Arthur, and Sheehan, Elizabeth Odell. Pierre Tous- saint , a citizen of old New York. New York, Kenedy, 1955. 257p. $3.50 55-6638 Born a slave in Haiti, this Negro hairdresser died over eighty years later, a free man, a pioneer in the cause of inter-racial justice, and a contributor to nearly every charitable need of New York in the post-Revolutionary era. His zeal for the glory of God, related in this sentimental, almost fictionalized biography, will provide inspiration to readers, who will be fascinated also by incidental stories of the great names of early days in the Uunited States. YIANNEY, JEAN BAPTIST MARIE, SAINT Trochu, Francis. The Cure d’Ars. Translated by Ronald Matthews. Westminster, Md., Newman, 1955. 193p. $3.50 55-8663 Msgr. Trochu has prepared a shorter version of his definitive biography which appeared in 1927 and which was translated into thirteen languages. Especially noteworty for today's readers are the author's precise psychological interpretations of the human side of the holy priest and his factual, unsenti- mental accounts of the saint's miracles of healing and supernatural intuition. WESTON, WILLIAM, S.J. An autobiography from the Jesuit underground. Translated from the Latin by Philip Caraman. New York, Farrar, Straus and Cudahy, 1955. 259p. $4.00 55-8754 The experiences of a Jesuit missionary to his native England at a time when by act of Parliament, to be a Roman Catholic priest was treason. The true significance of his life in the underground and in prison is further em- phasized by biographical material and notes provided by the translator 14 THE CATHOLIC BOOKLIST EDUCATION By John J. Walsh, Ph.D. Acting Chairman , Department of Education The Graduate School, Boston College, Chestnut Hill, Mass, ARNOLD, MAGDA B., and GASSON, JOHN A., S.J., eds. The human person; an approach to an integral theory of per- sonality, In collaboration with Charles A. Curran and others. New York, Ronald Press, 1954. 593p. $5.75 54-6960 An important contribution in the area of psychology and education, this volume formulates an integrated theory of personality based on a Christian conception of human nature. Eclectic in origin, the theory lends itself to experimental verification. BROWN, KENNETH IRVING Not minds alone; some frontiers of Christian education. New York, Harper, 1954. 206p. $3.00 53 11839 A plea for the restoration of ethical and religious values in American collegiate education, and for conscious attention to the objective of developing spiritual maturity in students. FITZGERALD, JAMES AUGUSTINE, and FITZGERALD, PA- TRICIA G. Methods and curricula in elementary education, Milwaukee, Bruce., 1955. 591p. $5.50 54-11667 This comprehensive text stresses an understanding of the elementary school child as a major factor in the development of appropriate curricula, and in the selection of learning experiences designed to promote important types of outcomes. GANSS, GEORGE EDWARD, S.J. Saint Ignatius9 idea of a Jesuit university ; a study in the history of Catholic education; including part IV of the Constitutions of the Society of Jesus; translated from the Spanish of St, Ignatius Loyola with introduction and notes, Milwaukee, Marquette Un- iversity Press, 1954. 368p. $5.50 54-12965 An examination of the educational ideas of Ignatius derived from his own writings, rather than the Ratio Studiorum. These sources reveal his stress on moral as well as intellectual development, and his acceptance of social, patriotic, and democratic aims in educational programs for the laity. FICTION 15 KIRK, RUSSELL AMOS Academic freedom; an essay in definition• Chicago, Regnery, 1955. 210p. S3.75 55-6452 Several contemporary episodes and pronouncements are considered and evaluated in the light of academic freedom conceptualized as a natural right, and distinguished from license. FICTION By Rev. Harold C. Gardiner, S.J. Literary Editor of America AVERY, IRA The five fathers of Pepi. Indianapolis, Bobbs-Merrill, 1955. 215p. $3.00 55-1.0893 Five batchelors in a little Italian town conspire to care for the waif Pepi. Young Giorgio is the chief 'father/ but he gets help from the other schemers. The main problems are what to do if a rich American tourist should offer to adopt the little boy, and how to keep Pepi from interfering with the romance between Giorgio and Maria. The solution is somewhat obvious, but the tone, gay, warm, and most human, makes this delightful reading. BARON, ALEXANDER (originally ALEC BERNSTEIN) The golden princess. New York, Washburn, 1955. 378p. $3.95 (W) 54-13396 One of several recent books on the subject of Mexican history in the times of the Conquistadores. Avoiding most of the exaggerated fables of the cruelty of the Spaniards, it nevertheless does not gloss over excesses. Compares well with A Crossbowman’s Story, listed below. BASSO, HAMILTON The view from Pompey’s Head. Garden City, N. Y., Doubleday, 1954. 409p. $3.95 (W) 54-10767 A young native of Pompey's Head returns after fifteen years in New York, to solve a literary-legal puzzle. He has a chance to study the thinking of the natives on such matters as interracial justice, social prestige, etc. The picture is drawn with great skill, and though no great problems are solved it is pleasant and thoughtful reading. 16 THE CATHOLIC BOOKLIST BORDEAUX, HENRI The lost sheep. Translated by Frances Frenaye. New York, Macmillan, 1955. 130p. $2.95 55-13587 A husband is at first inclined to take back his unfaithful but now repentant wife only as a servant who will care for the children. How his heart is changed makes the story. There is a great deal of insight into the workings of the human heart in this unpretentious novel. BAKERS, ELAINE (KIDNER) (JANE LANE, pseud.) Thunder on St. PauVs day. Westminster, Md., Newman, 1954. 256p. $3.00 54-12448 A stirring and authentic picture of England at the time when Titus Oates 'discovered' the Popish plot to overthrow the government. The odious charac- ter of Oates is brought out in contrast with a charming young English boy who testifies at the trials. Miss Lane is the author also of a biography of Titus Oates. BE WOHL, LOUIS The spear. Philadelphia, Lippincott, 1955. 383p. $3.95 (W) 55-6296 What happened to the spear which opened the side of Christ on the Cross? More important, what happened to the centurion who wielded it? This is Mr. De Wohl's theme. The story is shot through with coincidences, but is admir- able in that it does not play down the dogmatic facts and implications of the subject. DOLAN, MARY Hannibal of Carthage. New York, Macmillan, 1955. 308p. $3.75 (W) 55-14619 This fine first novel recaptures the times and describes the military action with accuracy and insight. It has the added virtue of presenting history as though it were actually unrolling before the reader. The grimness of pagan- ism is evident, and this book would provide a good introduction to the period treated by Miss White in The Four Rivers of Paradise. GIRONELLA, JOSE MARIA The cypresses believe in God. Translated from the Spanish by Harriet de -Onis. New York, Knopf, 1955. 2v. $10.00 (W) 54-7195 Undoubtedly the most impressive fictional achievement of the year, this is a magnificent panorama of Spain during the Civil War. Panoramic, but uni- fied by its focus on the life of a family, which comes to life astonishingly in these pages. Not a political tract, but it gives deeper insight into the causes of the war than do most works on the history of the times. FICTION 17 GROSECLOSE, ELGIN EARLE The Carmelite. New York, Macmillan, 1955, 289p. $3.75 (W) 55-14640 Pictures with good color and accurate history an unusual setting,—the mission of the Carmelites to Persia in the twelfth century. The main charac- ters are a fiery princess and the leader of the friars. A budding romance is handled with restraint. The portrayal of the customs of the times is perhaps the best factor in a good story. HOBART, ALICE TISDALE (NOURSE) Venture into darkness. New York, Longmans, Green, 1955. 367p. $3.95 (W) 55-7205 A young American returns to China to discover the fate of a man who had taken his place in an American bank there, and whom he feels he had condemned to certain death. During his search for his substitute, he runs into communism in action. The scenes showing how the old culture af the country is being ruthlessly changed are well done, especially those which depict underground activities. MILLAR, GEORGE REID A crossbowman’s story of the first exploration of the Amazon• New York, Knopf, 1955. 345p. $4.00 (W) 55-5611 Compare this with The golden princess. Here is another story that respects the facts of history as it recounts the fate of a sixteenth century Spanish expedition. The reader is plunged into the midst of the sweat and toil and danger of the adventure, and all is told in a style that captures the flavor of Spanish thinking without at the same time sounding cutely antique. O’CONNOR, RICHARD Guns of Chickamauga. Garden City, N. Y., Doubleday, 1955. 288p. $3.95 55-9238 A better than average tale of the Civil War. Spying, romance, and military action are featured, but the sense of historic authenticity comes through. The book is another proof of the vitality of this period of our history when treated by a craftsman. OLDENBOURG, ZOE The cornerstone. Translated by Edward Hyams. New York, Pantheon, 1955. 482p. $4.50 (W) 55-5062 Another magnificent reconstruction of the Middle Ages, worthy to be com- pared with the Prescott masterpiece. Follows mainly the fate of three members of a French family in the thirteenth century. Probably the best passages are those depicting the old father as he makes a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, where he had fought as a youth and where one of his sons had 18 THE CATHOLIC BOOKLIST died. The turmoil, the crudeness, the still-latent superstition of the times are admirable mingled with the profound and simple faith. A book for thought- ful perusing. PRESCOTT, HILDA FRANCES MARGARET The unhurrying chase. New York, Macmillan, 1955. 287p. $3.50 55-1792 A young French knight of the twelfth century loses his patrimony and almost his soul, but finds redemption through suffering. There is a great deal of brutality in the pages, but faith and love, too, and it all adds up to a good picture of Middle Ages. An earlier work than the author's magnificent novel, The Man on a Donkey. ROY, GARRIELLE (MRS. MARCEL CARBOTTE) The cashier. New York, Harcourt, Brace, 1955. 251p. $3.50 (W) 54-6397 The story of an ordinary little man who suffers from many chronic ills and is afraid to give himself to joy. But he is honest with himself and comes just before death to peace if not to happiness. The somewhat depressing theme is leavened with the author's compassion and a realization of the role of suffering in life. SCHULBERG, BUDD WILSON Waterfront. New York, Random House, 1955. 320p. $3.95 (W) 55-5804 An extension of the film, On the Waterfront, and treating the same theme, —the slow awakening of a young dockworker to the fact that injustice must be cured by action. A tense, dramatic story, as timely as the horrible abuses it aims to lay bare. Definitely for the mature, the language being rough and vulgar at times. The priest character is admirably handled. WAUGH, EVELYN Officers and gentlemen. Boston, Little, Brown, 1955. 339p. $3.75 (W) 55-9382 This sequel to Men at Arms carries on the adventures of Guy Crouchback, who embarked on his rather limited military service in the war because he was convinced that it was a crusade. He is almost disillusioned by the red tape and muddling-through he experiences, but there is still an unquenchable pride in him—and in Waugh, too—for the dogged bravery of the English fighting man. The brilliant satire ought not to blind one to this realization.

Translated with the original text, an introduction and notes by Karl Aschenbrenner and William B. Holther. Berkeley, University of California Press, 1954. 130p. $3.50 54-6475 This work, originally published in 1735 by the thinker who coined the term 'esthetics/ is interesting both for its poetic theory and as an example of the scholastic method of the disciples of Leibnitz and Christian Wolff. The theory itself is precise and of value even today, although it fails to dis- tinguish adequately between poetics and rhetoric. BRACELAND, FRANCIS JAMES, ed. Faith , reason and modern psychiatry; sources for a synthesis . New York, Kendy, 1955. 310p. $6.00 55-9335 A series of essays by internationally known doctors, theologians, and psy- chologists, with introduction and continuity by the editor.

Of great aid to persons in the fields of education, counseling, and medicine. PHILOSOPHY 35 CONDRY, WILLIAM MORETON Thoreau. New York, Philosophical Library, 1954, 114p. $3.50 54-11703 Brief and attractive sketch of the life of the New England naturalist and anti-authoritarian. It will serve as a pleasant introduction to the writings of a man who was not a technical philosopher, but whose influence not only persists in America but has reached the Orient. CRONAN, EDWARD PAUL The dignity of the human person. New York, Philosophical Library, 1955. 207p. $3.00 55-14491 A Thomistic treatment of the nature and destiny of man as he is the image of God even in the natural order. The book presupposes that the reader has some philosophical background. DOOLAN, AEGIDIUS, O.P. Order and law. Westminster, Md., Newman, 1954. 199p. $3.50 54-9947 A well written exposition of the doctrine of St. Thomas on law and the virtue of justice. The author's Irish charm and his use of contemporary scenes to illustrate old truths should recommend the book to 'Catholics of good college background. FLECKENSTEIN, NORRERT J. A critique of John Dewey’s theory of the nature and the knowl- edge of reality in the light of the principles of Thomism. Wash- ington, Catholic University of America Press, 1954. 193p. (Catholic University of America philosophical studies, vl57) $2.25 A54-5212 This clearly worked out doctoral thesis shows how Dewey's philosophy and educational theory is rooted in a view of knowledge which over-simplifies the data of experience. It shows how, on the other hand, a Thomistic account of knowledge and of its foundations in reality is more comprehensive and closer to empirical fact. FRITZ, KURT YON The theory of the mixed constitution in antiquity; a critical analysis of Polybius 9 political ideas. New York, Columbia University Press, 1954. 490p. $7.50 54-10329 A valuable work of scholarship that will be welcomed by political philoso- phers. The argument is that a mixed constitution which does not rest on respect for law by the diverse classes who share the mixed government is an empty mechanism. 36 THE CATHOLIC BOOKLIST GILSON, ETIENNE History of Christian philosophy in the Middle Ages . New York, Random House, 1955. 829p. $7.50 54-7802 Very valuable for the completeness of its survey and its excellent biblio- graphical notes. Understandably, it is colored by the distinguished author's tendency to read philosophical history as a confirmation of his version of Thomism according to which St. Thomas, although representing himself as an Aristotelian, is, in fact, not so, but a revolutionary thinker misunderstood by previous commentators. GRABOWSKI, STANISLAUS JUSTIN The all-present God ; a study in St. Augustine . St. Louis, Herder, 1954. 327p. $4.50 53-9108 This study of St. Augustine is very thorough, and is particularly useful on the relations of theology and philosophy. St. Thomas' insistence on the uni- versality of the divine causality in being, knowledge, and love is better under- stood in the light of St. Augustine's emphasis on this great truth. HADAMARD, JACQUES SALOMON Essay on the psychology of invention in the mathematical field . New York, Dover Publications, 1954. 145p. $2.50; pa., $1.25 54-4731 Reprint of a fascinating effort by a noted mathematician to understand the process of scientific discovery in the light of normal and abnormal psychology. HILDEBRAND, DIETRICH YON, and JOURDAIN, ALICE M. True morality and its counterfeits. New York, McKay, 1955. 179p. $3.00 55-14890 An attack on the ethical doctrines of 'Sin Mysticism' and 'Circumstantial Ethics' condemned by the present pope. Several prominent Catholic literary figures can be reasonably accused of propagating these distortions of Catholic moral doctrine. The book is recommended for all those who are puzzled by Catholic authors who seem to take an ambiguous position on moral issues. HARRIS, ERROL EUSTACE Nature, mind9 and modern science. New York, Macmillan, 1954. 456p. $5.50 54-11503 Traces the genesis and historical setting of the critical problem with an insight and style welcome to every serious student interested in modern science and its philosophy.

Translated with an introduction and notes by Daniel D. McGarry. Berkeley, University of California Press, 1955. 305p. $5.00 55-6886 A very lively and highly instructive classic in the fields of education and logic.

Beautifully edited and printed. KLUBERTANZ, GEORGE PETER, S.J. An introduction to the philosophy of being• New York, Apple- ton-Century-Crofts, 1955. 300p. $3.00 55-7164 The manner of presentation is suited to beginners, each chapter including a list of definitions, a summary of the argument, suggested readings from modern sources, and passages from St. Thomas in English. These do not in- clude the crucial passages in which St. Thomas explains the subject of meta- physics, the scope and order of its parts, and the relations of this science to the other sciences, particularly to natural philosophy. KOREN, HENRY J. Introduction to the science of metaphysics. St. Louis, Herder, 1955. 291p. $4.50 55-10922 A textbook written in a clear style and presenting sound Thomastic doc- trine. Like other current manuals, however, it neglects the order of the science as St. Thomas so carefully expounds it in his Aristotelian commen- tary. This neglect cuts short the very careful and systematic introduction to the science which St. Thomas believed to be necessary. NADRA, JOHN BENEDICT JOSEPH, O.P. The virtue of observance according to St. Thomas Aquinas. Washington, D. C., Thomist Press, 1955. 82p. $1.00 An especially timely study dealing with the virtue of respect for one's betters. Teachers of ethics can use its principles for a number of instructive cases. The author states the traditional doctrine in a detailed and competent manner. ROOS, HEINRICH, S.J. Soren Kierkegaard and Catholicism. Translated from the Danish by Richard M. Brackett, S.J. Westminster, Md., New- man, 1954. 62p. pa., $1.25 54-7545 Succeeds better in proving that Kierkegaard was anti-Protestant than that he was pro-Catholic; no small difference. Useful, however, in surveying the evidence on the question. 38 THE CATHOLIC BOOKLIST RUSK, ROBERT ROBERTSON The doctrine of the great educators . 2d ed. rev. and enl. New York, St. Martin’s Press, 1954. 311p. $2.75 54-13098 The educational theories of Plato, Quintilian, Elyot, Loyola, Comenius, Milton, Locke, Rousseau, Pestalozzi, Herbart, Froebel, Montessori, and Dewey. The descriptions are on the whole sympathetic and clear, and considerably more useful than those found in the standard histories of education. The chapter on St. Ignatius Loyola is especially well done and sympathetic, al- though the author is apparently not a Catholic. SANCHEZ REULET, AN1BAL, ed. Contemporary Latin-American philosophy; a selection with an introduction and notes. Translated from the Spanish and Portuguese by Willard R. Trask. Albuquerque, University of New Mexico Press, 1954. 285p. $5.00 54-6518 A critical anthology of selections from twelve philosophers of the past fifty years, with a general bibliography of Latin-American thought. Includes positivism, phenomenology, and neo-Thomism by authors professional and self- taught. Useful for reference purposes, although of course many views of the authors included leave much to be desired. SCHIFFER, WALTER The legal community of mankind ; a critical analysis of the modern concept of world organization. New York, Columbia University Press, 1954. 367p. $5.50 54-9256 The League of Nations and the United Nations were based on the assump- tion that moral progress was leading all nations to see the evident fact that their interests are identical. The author holds that the interests of the na- tions are not identical, and that only the authority of a world state can bring peace. SPALDING, KENNETH JAY The philosophy of Shakespeare . New York, Philosophical Li- brary, 1953. 191p. $3.75 53-7902 This beautiful book is a catena of passages from all the works of Shakes- peare, chronologically arranged to show that Shakespeare step by step de- veloped a total view of man, his relations to nature, his social and spiritual development, and the role of evil in this development. Excellent supplementary reading for a course in ethics. PHILOSOPHY 39 STALLKNECHT, NEWTON PHELPS, and BRUMBAUGH, ROBERT SHERRICK The compass of philosophy; an essay in intellectual orientation. New York, Longmans, Green, 1954. 258p. $3.25 55-5178 A lucid exposition of the main themes and the historical recurrence of four philosophies, typified by Democritus, Plato, Aristotle, and Bergson. Helpful in reducing the history of philosophy to manageable compass. THOMAS AQUINAS, Saint Truth. Translated from the definitive Leonine text. Yol. 3 (questions 21-29) translated by Robert W. Schmidt, S.J. Chi- cago, Regnery, 1954. 530p. $7.50 52.-12511 Last volume of the magnificent translation of one of St. Thomas' most pro- found treatises.

THOMAS OF BRADWARDINE Tractatus de proportionibus ; its significance for the development of mathematical physics. Edited and translated by H. Lemar Crosby, Jr. Madison, University of Wisconsin Press, 1955. 203p. $3.50 It is beginning to be realized that mathematical physics did not end with Archimedes and recommence with Galileo but was a continuous and active tradition through the Middle Ages. The present work affords a very important proof of this fact by showing the patient efforts of scholastic thinkers to develop a consistent theory of mechanics. VEATCH, HENRY BABCOCK Realism and nominalism revisited, Milwaukee, Marquette Uni- versity Press, 1954. 75p. (Marquette University. Aristotelian society. The Aquinas lecture, 1954) $2.00 54-13152 The problems of nominalism and realism in modern logic arose from the introduction of the mathematical conceptions of function and argument into logical analysis. When the distinction between real and rational beings has 40 THE CATHOLIC BOOKLIST been overlooked, logical analysis seems to regard only a world of names to which nothing determinate corresponds in reality. RELIGION By Rev. James R. Gillis, O.P. Professor of Theology St, Rose Priory, Dubuque, Iowa BOUYER, LOUIS The meaning of the monastic life. Translated by Kathleen Pond. New York, Kenedy, 1955. 209p. $4.00 55-9394 An excellent treatise on the spiritual life, explicitly for monks but with a real message for all Catholics,—that any secret hope or desire for "Chris- tianity without tears” is both a snare and a delusion.

(Religious life) $4.00 55-7045 In the fifth volume of the Religious Life Series the vow and virtue of chastity are treated from diverse aspects and by experts.

Westminster, Md., Newman, 1954. 127p. $2.00 55-8641 The aim of this book is not so much to enlighten the reader as to move him to embrace God's will,—which is, of course, his sanctification.

Westminster, Md., Newman, 1954. 144p. $2.75 54-12533 Professor Oscar Cullman presented the Protestant position on the apostolic succession in his book, Peter, Disciple, Apostle, Martyr.

Strauss. New York, Sheed and Ward, 1955. 379p. $5.00 54-11146 This new edition of a work translated by H. Gardner in 1939 utilizes the doctrinal clarifications of recent papal pronouncements. The principal thesis remains the same,—that the doctrine of the Mystical Body is the fundamen- tal principle of Christian asceticism. KELLER, JAMES, M.M. Make each day count; a Christopher thought for every day of the year. Garden City, N. Y., Garden City Books, 1955. 366p. $2.95 55-9987 This book of Christopher thoughts sticks closely to the pattern of its pre- decessors,—from anecdote to religious truth, with a dash of patriotism. 44 THE CATHOLIC BOOKLIST KNOX, RONALD ARBUTHNOT A retreat for lay people. New York, Sheed and Ward, 1955. 258p. $3.00 55-7477 These twenty-four meditations are a sample of the fare which Msgr. Knox has given his retreatants during the past fifteen years.

The summa of the Christian life; selected texts from his writings. Translated and adapted by Jordan Aumann, O.P. Yol. II. St. Louis, Herder* 1955. 428p. $4.95 This second volume of a spiritual classic is even better than the first.

LaMothe, Jr. Chicago, Fides, 1955. 197p. $3.75 55-11503 Exhibiting his usual skill in presenting Catholic truth in an attractive and practical manner, Father de Montcheuil gives the reader a fresh perspective on what the Church is, and states most emphatically what membership in- volves.
