A general bibliography of works on the early printing of books by South Slav writers is appended, and a list of the towns where the early works were printed, with page references to the relevant items. Another index provides a comprehensive list of the names of writers and others occurring in the text. A map of present-day Yugoslavia shows the distribution of printing- presses in use during various periods before the year i6oo.

Canadian Slavonic Papers, IV. Edited by G. S. N. Luckyj. Published for the Canadian Association of Slavists by the University of Toronto Press in co-operation with the University of British Columbia, Toronto, I 959 [I96I]. Vi + 2I7 pages.

IT is particularly pleasant to recall in these pages, which for so many years were closely associated with his name, this volume, presented on his 75th birthday to W. J. Rose, formerly Director of the School of Slavonic and East European Studies and subsequently Visiting Professor in the University of British Columbia.

The contents of the volume are a fitting tribute to Professor Rose's wide range of interests, with particular reference to Polish studies; indeed many of the contributors have been at some stage or other students of his.

The majority of the articles dealing with Poland are contributions to Anglo-Polish relations-a field dear to Professor Rose, whether they deal with Conrad in England (A. E. Sawyer) or Bunyan in Poland (Wiktor Weintraub) or even very amusingly, with English sport terms in Polish (Veronica M. Du Feu). Creative translation is beautifully represented by the rendering of Kasprowicz's 'The Ballad of the Sunflower' by Jerzy Pietrkiewicz and Burns Singer, and solid historical scholarship by Peter Brock's article on socialism and nationalism in Poland in 1840-46.

An impressive bibliography of Professor Rose's writings, painstakingly compiled by Victor Turek of the library of the university of Toronto, is the best illustration of the interests and achievements of the eminent Canadian Slavist. It contains in all 320 items, ranging from books to articles, from pamphlets to prefaces and translations, and does not claim to be exhaustive. Newspaper contributions published in the press of four different countries (Canada, England, Poland, and the United States) have been omitted owing to obvious difficulties in dealing with such a mass of material. But their number-which includes many editorials and reviews-is also characteristic of William Rose's untiring crusading spirit which inspired several generations of scholars, teachers, and students.

Other articles appearing in this issue maintain the standard set by the editors when the review first appeared in 1956, and show the continuing development of Slavonic studies in Canada, one of the earliest pioneers of which was William Rose.
