The Tissues of the Body. By W. E. le Gros Clark, M.A., D.Sc., F.R.S., F.R.C.S., Professor Emeritus of Anatomy in the University of Oxford. Sixth edition. 9 × 6 in. Pp. 424 + ix. Illustrated. 1971. Oxford: Clarendon Press. £3.25

The Anglo-Saxon Poem of which I enclose a Specimen is contained, together with various others, in the Volume preserved in the Library of Exeter Cathedral, an extract from which I had, in November last, the honour of submitting to the Society. Its subject, the Reproach of a Spirit in misery to the body which it formerly inhabited, will doubtless be recognized by those who are conversant with our early Poetry as one upon which the genius of our Minstrels, or rather perhaps of our monastic Versifiers, was not unfrequently exercised. The Exordium of this ancient composition will be found (if I have rightly translated the passage in question, which is somewhat obscure,) to contain a singular instance of popular superstition relative to the time during which the soul was permitted to revisit the Earth after its separation from the body.

James K. Galbraith of University of Texas at Austin reviews “Keynes: Useful Economics for the World Economy”, by Peter Temin and David Vines. The Econlit abstract of this book begins: “Provides an introduction to Keynesian ideas that connect John Maynard Keynes's insights to today's global economy and offers a way to understand current policy debates. Discusses economics before Keynes─David Hume; Keynes at Versailles; Keynes and the Macmillan Committee; economics before Keynes─Alfred Marshall; The General Theory; IS-LM curves; the liquidity trap; Bretton Woods and the Swan diagram; the Keynesan age─crises and reactions; and an international paradox of thrift.” Temin is Elisha Gray II Professor Emeritus of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Vines is Professor of Economics and Fellow of Balliol College at the University of Oxford.
