Some Results by Professor C. H. Dodd
The tendency of recent research to treat the New Testament as the deposit of a tradition partly oral and partly written, which was transmitted as a function of the total life and activity of the growing community, has meant a fresh study of the environment in which the New Testament took shape and a new approach in criticism. Professor Dodd discusses some of the results of this new approach.

Some reflections on the South Bank Exhibition by Christopher Salmon
Part 2
It was while he was writing his Mass in D minor at Eisenstadt in the summer of 1798 that Haydn heard the news of Nelson's victory at Aboukir Bay; and into his setting of the Benediclus he introduced a fanfare of trumpets. Two years later, when Nelson was in Vienna, he paid a four-day visit, with Sir William and Lady Hamihon, to Eisenstadt. where he was entertained by Prince Enterhazy. The Mass was performed: and Lady Hamilton, accompanied hy Haydn, sang a song about rhe battle which he had specially composed. When Haydn died. nine years later, an engraving of Nelson and a diagram of the battle in Aboukir Bay were found among his possessions. At the King's Lynn Festival a copy of ' The Spirit's Song ' by Haydn is to be displayed: this is inscribed to Lady Hamilton as having been given to her ' by the most excellent Haydn at Eisens:adt at the Prince of Estcrhazy's, Sept 9, 1800.'
