limitations of Lange's analysis to the reader. The essays are written with
the elegance of presentation which one has come to expect from their
author, one of the great contributors to the theory of welfare economics,
and are an account by an eminent socialist economist of his experience
of adapting the Marxian theoretical framework to the problems of the
contemporary economic world.
Therefore the book should be read by those interested in development
of planning doctrines and modern Marxian analysis as well as by others
who want some knowledge of the problems that were discussed in Poland
at the end of the fifties. Those however who expect to learn some planning
techniques or policy recommendations may find the volume disappointing,
as the rapid development of the discipline makes the book outdated and
insufficient to meet the requirements of the contemporary reader.

Nandris, Grigore. Din istoria societ&fa pentru culturd. Centenarul Cernau\i,

1862-1962. New York, Basarabia $i Bucovina. Editura Societatii pentru
Cultura si Literatura Romanilor din strainatate, London, 1968.
251 pages. Maps. Plates.
This volume was issued to commemorate the centenary of the foun?
dation of Societatea pentru culturd at Cernauti in 1862. The initiative to set
up this society had been taken by the Rumanians of Bucovina immediately
after the revolutionary movement of 1848. The first president was a doc?
tor, M. Zotta, and so was the last before 1944, Ion Nandris, who succeeded
his brother Grigore in 1942. The Hurmuzache brothers, the politician
Iancu Flondor, and the philologist Sextil Puscariu are famous names
among its officers. And the poet Eminescu acted as its librarian while still
a schoolboy.
Besides information about the activities of the Society, this book also
contains articles by Professor G. Nandris on Bucovina and Bessarabia,
some of them reprinted, some new. There are a number of illustrations,
chiefly portraits, as well as several maps.
