SPINOlA DICTIONARY
Edited by Dagobert D. Runes
With a Foreword by Albert Einstein
In
this
work, Baruch Spinoza, one of the
cardinal thinkers of all time answers the
eternal questions of man and
his
passions,
God and nature. In the deepest sense, thi>
dictionary of Spinoza's philosophy is a
veritable treasury of sublime wisdom.
Here is what Albert Einstein writes
about this book:
"I have read the Spinoza Dictionary with
great care.
It
is, in my opinion, a valuable
contril>ution to philosophlcal literature.
"If
the reader despairs of the business of
finding
hi>
way through Spinoilim, here
he will find a reliable guide speaking in
Spinoza's own words.
" Tbe grand ideas of Spinoza'.
Ethics
are brought out clearly in this book, not
less than the
ma~nificent
delusions of _pas–
sioD·driven men.'

Melville's Early Life
and "Redburn))
By
WILLIAM H. GILMAN
This new study of Melville's life
from 1819 to 1841 shows the re–
lation between his early years
and
Redburn,
the book which
seems to picture Melville's boy–
hood and youth. Using old as well
as unexplored sources, Dr. Gil–
man discusses
Redburn
both as a
reflection of Melville's life and as
a work of art in itself.
"A very valuable contribution in–
deed to Melville scholarship."
