Clarke, Isabel Constance-continued
Welcome: a romance of Jamaica. 224p.
5V2x8%; ’43 Longinans. 2.50.
“A modern romance with a perfect setting, ‘a
large plantation in Jamaica. VVhile‘the theme is
not very original, the treatment is fresh and
authentic. It illustrates the factp that the triangle
is still effective in fiction as in life. The opening
situation is described with great care; the owner
of hVelcome, a thriving sugar plantation, returns
to England to take oyer the guardianship of his
young brother and sister, and, in ‘putting them
straight, sets in motion a whole series of actions
which are to end in tragedy for him. The book
is memorable for two things,‘ its exploration of
Catholic themes and its beautiful descriptions of
scenery”4Cath World 158:218 N ’43, 175w.
“Miss Clarke works out her plot very well. Her
only fault is to become a trifle too didactic as re-
gards Catholicism. Her character studies, how-
ever, are excellent, especially those ‘of the two
brothers, and her descriptions of tropical Jamaica
are very good and leave a definite impression of
that lovely island”4Geraldine R. Colligan, Ave

A collection of substantially unrevised addresses
which vary in value and depth. Includes a
temporate appraisal of Father Coughlin. “As an
analyst of present evils and their causes, Dean
Clarke displays a masterly skill in some of the
articles. Practicing an admirable economy of
words he lifts the main problems clear and whole
from surrounding encumbrances, deftly inspects
them before our eyes, and then as a skilled diag-
nostician gives the cause and its cure”4Reginald

The soul of the law; introd. by John H.

The author “discusses the nature of law from
the Catholic perspective. He delineates the sources
of law, explains the general applications of law,
the common law, equity, courts, and jurisdiction,
as well as the theories of jurisprudence. The
ethics of the legal profession are treated in a
masterful way. Throughout this manual there is
plenty of reference to Catholic thought considered
as helpful to the conscience of members of the
Church. The Dean has labored long and well to
make a neat contribution to legal education and
his work deserves the compliment of thoughtful
consideration by law teacher and law student”--

“Deane Clarke emphasizes the eternal and natu-
ral law and the imperative necessity of ethical
norms and moral values in the fabrication of posi-
tive laiv. . . . His book presents an interesting
balance between the theoretical and practical as-
pects of law-making. He traces the history of
equity, common law, and international law and
relates these compartments of law to his ever-
present thesis that man-made law must be tested
in terms of the common good and be in accord

with the nature of man. His book is well docu-
mented and well suited to its purpose, namely, to
provide the beginning law student with an excellent
background of legal philosophy prior to the com-
mencement of his law course"4Walter B. Ken-

“The French poems were written by Claude]
during the years from 1906 to 1916, and were
published as a collection on that latter date. Sister
Mary.David could not have made her versions in
one night, for she has tried to make the transla-
tion both literal and rhymed. . . . Coronal is
great poetry, its translation is a great favor"-
