to recent charges that Cath

Charles Lucey of Washing

Howard.
The opening chapter by
Erik Won Kuehnelt-Leddihn,
deplores what he calls POL
lyanna catholicism" an eff
fort to oversimplify the
faith and its serious prob
lens, to reduce it to the
easy dimensions of a comic
strip. Some stories, movies
and television plays have
given such an impression.
Mr.. Won Keuhnelt-Leddihn
points out that catholicism
is not an easy faith to follow
and that its theology and
philosophy extend the most
astute minds.

The first important encyclo-

the Lexicon Technicum, is
sued in 1704 by John Harris,
a London clergyman. But the
direct inspiration of the first
Britannica was the French

Diderot, the first two volumes
of which had been suppressed
as injurious to royal author
ity and to religion. The
three Scots who launched the
Britannica were Andrew Bell,
Colin Macfarquhar and Will

scholar of the trio, and he
was described as brilliant
and bibulous."
But there had been works
something like encyclopedias
ever since the Naturalis His
toria was presented by Pliny
the Elder in n AID.
Mr.. Hogan tells the inter-
eSting story of the Britain

Graw-Hill; $3.750
Mr.. Humphreys. a Welsh
man, is one of the old. or
tight-lipped, school of Brit
ish underwriting. He is all
restraint and understatement
in this story of a triangle
composed of an arrogant
English politician-publiShe
his Italian wife and his
young, uncertain son. Father
and son are not conscious
rivals for Paola. Father is
counting a young adventures
and the son is falling in love
with the daughter of fathers
old enemy.
The characterizationS for
the most part are excellent.
Richard Roth is an abrasive
personality defying time it
self. His son is a gentle soul
who knows when to rebel.
The wife, however, is a trifle
unrealized. She is a re-
pressed creature, given to a
kind of quiet desperation not
generally identified with the
Italian temperament. The
climactic scene with her
stepson is, after all, embar-
RAISING rather than tragic,
and the resolution is some
what anticlimactic.
There are many fine scenes,
but the novel as a whole
suffers from a single point of
view to create the intensity
it attempts to define.
