The Hispanic Foundation

The effective organization of facili- ties for the pursuit of Hispanic stud- ies has materialized in the establish- ment of the Hispanic Foundation and the giving it a special gallery in the Library of Congress. It is located on the second floor, between the Division of Fine Arts and the Rare Book Room, and is of generous proportions-a fitting setting for the collections of Spanish, Portuguese, a n d Latin- American literatures, which are the most considerable collections within the United States and which are being constantly enlarged and kept up to date.

The plans of the reconstruction of this gallery are those of the distin- guished architect, Paul Philippe Cret of Philadelphia, architect of the Pan American Union and the Folger Shakespeare Library. The architec- tural style is that of the late Spanish Renaissance. A reading room with ample accomodations, carrells for pri- vate study, stacks for seventy-five thousand volumes, alcoves of books for frequent reference, the catalog, and the administrative offices are now com- pleted.

Since the bases will be cultural rather than linguistic, much ancillary material, as well as the collections of the literatures and histories of His- panic countries, will be housed in the new salon. Special bibliographies and indexes will be available, and the monumental contents-index prepared by Professor Federico de Onis has been promised to the Hispanic Foun- dation.

These invaluable facilities have been made possible by a series of generous gifts in the form of endowments for the purchase of books, for adequate staff administration, and for the hon- orarium of an expert consultant who can assist the investigator in prob- lems of scholarship or research by his intimate knowledge of the material in its various forms.

The Background of

"The Prince" MACHIAVELLI'S PRINCE AND

ITS FORERUNNERS. By Allan H. Gilbert. Durham, Duke University Press, 1938. xiii, 266. $3.00.

No man of the time saw more clear- ly than Niccolo Machiavelli the direc- tion of European political evolution, and none understood better its causes, nor appreciated more keenly the dawn- ing sense of nationalism which sanc- tioned force as its chief instrument. As a political thinker he is therefore peculiarly representative of the mod- ern concept of the State.

His significant work, II Principe, is approached by Professor Gilbert not from the controversial angle of the character of its author, but from the standpoint of the work itself as the epitome of the very great number of books of the type de regimine prin- cipium, and from the standpoint of Machiavelli's thought as essentially the product of intellectual environ- ment. Thus the volume is concerned with the appearance of ideas rather than with their ultimate source.

In form, the book is a running com- mentary on II Principe. Taking it by chapters, the author discusses similari- ties and important differences between it and the best known of its predeces- sors. One should note that by means of generous quotations (translated in foot-notes for the general reader) the originals are allowed to speak for themselves. Two basic conclusions emerge: (1) few of Machiavelli's ideas were novel, but he had the ability to select the valuable parts of contempor- ary and preceding theorists, and to clothe them in his own amoral and practical philosophy; (2) his only claim to originality is based upon the number of miscellaneous topics (e.g., use of mercenaries, doubtful value of fortresses, stinginess often to be com- mended, etc.) germane to his day and not discussed by his predecessors.

The general ideas advanced by Pro- fessor Gilbert's study are not new

Readable Reader

IVAMOS A LEER! By Sturgis E. Leavitt and Sterling A. Stoudemire. New York, Henry Holt and Co., 1938. xi, 237, Iviii (vocabulary). $1.36.

The authors of Elements of Spanish and i Vamos a ver! have added a third book to their series, an attractively bound volume published in large clear print (a distinct advantage), with thirteen clever illustration by Doro- thea Cooke. Many so-called graded readers have appeared on the mar- ket, but this is the first to combine its graded prose with an early presenta- tion of excellent reading aids to in- sure proper use of the material pre- sented. Exercises for grammar and conversation are purposely omitted. Instructions for reading are given, and it is the authors' intention that this book should "teach students the technique of reading."

i-Vamos a leer! may be used after completing a short grammar such as Elements of Spanish or while study- ing a more intensive grammar. In order to "introduce the beginner to Spanish prose and to develop a tech- nique for the acquisition of a reading knowledge of the language," the au- thors present their material in three sections, graded so that the vocabul- ary (checked by Buchanan's Word List) increases by 500 words for every four or five selections, until the final novela includes words up to 3000.

Part I contains a review of the fun- damental principles of language study, and instructions in the use of the printed vocabulary or dictionary-the latter instruction fulfilling a long-felt need. Part II introduces "Reading Aids" before each of five reading selec- tions based on cultural subjects, such as history of the language and geo- graphy of Spain. These "Aids" iron out difficulties in Spanish word order and idiomatic expressions, smoothing out the hard places before the student reaches them. When he does reach the idiom (in heavy print the first time it appears), he meets a recognized form. The psychology of the strength of repetition takes effect. The idiom is no longer a pitfall.

Part III continues the advance ex- planations, and presents thirteen se- lections from literature, graded in dif- ficulty so that the last approximates standard Spanish prose. With each

story is a brief description of the out- standing characteristics of the par- ticular author's work, with occasional comments upon comparative litera- ture.

The choice of material has been ex- tremely fortunate. Seven authors are represented-a short story by Cer- vantes; an imaginary folktale, "El pescador," by Juan Valera; a poetic leyenda, "La ajorca de oro," by Bec- quer; sophisticated humorous essays, "Vuelva usted maniana" and "El cas- tellano viejo," by the costumbrista Larra; shrewd peasant stories, "El golpe doble" and "El parasito del tren," by Blasco Ibfiez. There are three selections from Pardo Bazan, two concerning local superstition, "El voto" and "El talisman," and one of poetized realism, "La cita," describ- ing the power of circumstantial evi- dence in a murder case. Pedro An- tonio de Alarcon is represented by three short stories and one novela. Who can forget the important pump- kin in "El libro talonario," the brave apothecary in "El afrancesado," or the gypsies and bandits in "La buenaventura"? The climax, of course, is reached in Alarcon's genial operatic prose comedy "El sombrero de tres picos."

Not only do these selections have high literary value, they also give an insight into Spanish character and customs. The authors are to be con- gratulated in having made available to the beginning student colorful vir- ile stories which will catch and hold the imagination, stories that would appeal to youth in any language or in any land.

READING AND SPEAKING

(Continued from page five) in Spanish of the article; one sug- gested oral summary; a few themes for free Spanish composition of fifty words; one request for Spanish equi- valents of thirty-odd English words; and two suggestions for original com- positions.

On each lesson there are ten well- chosen questions in Spanish to be an- swered in Spanish.

In Part I the following tenses are used: present indicative, imperative, a few futures and preterites, present perfect, and in Lesson X the imperfect subjunctive. The selections in Part II have not been simplified, and the stu- dent becomes acquainted with those long and grammatically involved Spanish sentences with which he will have to cope in any connected dis- course. The early use of the second person singular, in Lessons II and IV, gives the student drill in a verb form which he is all too prone to use, one of the teacher's greatest difficulties being to accustom the student to the use of the third person singular in personal address; but this is a minor fault.

When the student has completed the Lecturas Modernas he will have an excellent idea of what Spanish is, and will have had the opportunity to prac- tice talking, which is his greatest de- sire.
