Four talks to mark the fourth centenary of Spenser's birth
2— ' Most Sacred Vertue ' by Frances Yates
The title of this talk is taken from the invocation to Queen Elizabeth before the fifth book of The Faerie Queene, which expounds the ' most sacred Vertue ' of Justice. The virtues exemplified in the knights, whose adventures form the basis of the allegory of the poem, are all related to the virtues of the Virgin Queen of England whose rule is to restore a Golden Age of Justice and of Peace.
Frances Yates is Recognised Teacher of Comparative Literature in the University of London and a member of the staff of the Warburg Institute.

' The Open Society and its Enemies ' by Karl Popper reviewed by William Clark
* The Open Society and its Enemies was first published in 1945 and has recently been re-issued. William Clark suggests that Professor Popper's ' philosophy of moderation ' and his cri-ticism of the ideal societies proposed by Plato and Marx provides a theory of politics whose application in practice might effectively meet the needs of our present situation.
