Talk by Ronald L. Meek
Lecturer in Political Economy at Glasgow University
Is the labour theory of value founded on some sort of ethical or political premise? How does Marx's theory of value d ffer from the theories of Adam Smith and David Ricardo ? Dr. Meek's reflections on these questions are prompted by the recent appearance of three books: a reprint of Böhm-Bowerk's ̒Karl Marx and the Close of his System ̓ and Hilferding's reply; an English translation of selections from Marx's ' Theories of Surplus Value '; and an edition of ' The Works and Correspondence of David Ricardo. '

In 1209 or 1210, after much delay and wirh misgiving, Innocent III granted the young Francesco Bernardone permission to found a religious brotherhood following the rule of absolute poverty. The interview at which this was done, and the first adventure of the ' Little Brothers ' as they set out from Rome are portrayed with delicacy by a writer who died in 1935.

' Thrice Noble, Illustrious and Excellent Princess '
Talk by Douglas Grant
Professor of English at the University of Toronto
The speaker shows that this high-flown description of herself that Margaret Cavendish , Duchess of Newcastle, placed on the title pages of her books, reveals a degree of defiance and self-consciousness in her role as champion of womens' rights to approach those intellectual realms usually considered in the seventeenth century to belong exclusively to men. He argues that she deserves to be remembered not only for this reason, but also as a lovable and eccentric personality-and as a writer of real merit.
