“…It did keep regular lists, sourced from the press, of treaties apparently made but not yet registered, but this information was not used to shame recalcitrant governments. 104 After a few initial attempts, Drummond largely ceased writing personally to foreign ministry contacts to press for compliance. 105 Debate in the wider legal community reflected the same divergence of views as existed within League bodies.…”

The Survival of the Secret Treaty: Publicity, Secrecy and Legality in the International Order

This article offers the first detailed history of the norm of treaty publication as it has evolved over the last century. Drawing on both public debates and archives of foreign ministries, it traces how, and why, secret treaties have persisted, even in liberal democracies. It challenges assumptions of ever-greater transparency over time, and complicates the associations made-by interwar reformers and international lawyers today-between the norm of treaty publication and ideals of legality in the international order.

“…Flessa (1928) refers t o the same difficulty, especially in the case of staphylococci undergoing phagocytosis. Hamel (1932) found that of 188 apparent gonococcal colonies taken off, 4 proved not to be gonococcal as they fermented maltose and he suggests that strains exist resembling the gonococcus i n all cultural qualities, but which are not the gonococcus in view of the clinical histories. He does not advance any very cogent proof for this opinion.…”

Cultivation of the gonococcus as a method in the diagnosis of gonorrhqea with special reference to the oxydase reaction and to the value of air reinfoeced in its caebon dioxide content

A SIMPLE and effective method of applying the direct oxydase reaction for the purpose of differentiating bacterial colonies was described six years ago by Gordon and McLeod (1928) and a useful extension of this method in the substitution of the tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine hydrochloride for the dimethyl compound was introduced later by Ellingworth, McLeod and Gordon (1929). These methods have been uscd ever since in routine laboratory work and have proved of high value in many ways, but especially in the detection of gonococcal colonies in the mixed cultures which commonly result from inoculations of urethral and cervical discharges made either for the diagnosis of gonorrhea or in order to follow the progress of the dismse under treatment.A survey of the fairly numerous papers published during the last few years on tho cultivation of the gonococcus shows that this method has been overlooked by most workers. Price (1929) alone appears to have used the reaction in a considerable series of cases and report8 favourably upon it. Joachimovits (1932) describes how the older method of Schultze (1910) using a-naphthol and dimethyl-pphenplenediamine hydrochloride ca.n be applied to distinguish between the meningococcus, Micrococcus catarrhalis and the gonococcus owing to the weaker reaction given by the last, but he says nothing of the application of the method to a series of cases. Amongst authors who have seriously investigated the cultural diagnosis of gonorrhea in recent yesrs but who appear to have overlooked this method are

The Waning Sword

Pettit¹

The image of a giant sword melting stands at the structural and thematic heart of the Old English heroic poem Beowulf. This meticulously researched book investigates the nature and significance of this golden-hilted weapon and its likely relatives within Beowulf and beyond, drawing on the fields of Old English and Old Norse language and literature, liturgy, archaeology, astronomy, folklore and comparative mythology. In Part I, Pettit explores the complex of connotations surrounding this image (from icicles to candles and crosses) by examining a range of medieval sources, and argues that the giant sword may function as a visual motif in which pre-Christian Germanic concepts and prominent Christian symbols coalesce. In Part II, Pettit investigates the broader Germanic background to this image, especially in relation to the god Ing/Yngvi-Freyr, and explores the capacity of myths to recur and endure across time. Drawing on an eclectic range of narrative and linguistic evidence from Northern European texts, and on archaeological discoveries, Pettit suggests that the image of the giant sword, and the characters and events associated with it, may reflect an elemental struggle between the sun and the moon, articulated through an underlying myth about the theft and repossession of sunlight. The Waning Sword: Conversion Imagery and Celestial Myth in 'Beowulf' is a welcome contribution to the overlapping fields of Beowulf-scholarship, Old Norse-Icelandic literature and Germanic philology. Not only does it present a wealth of new readings that shed light on the craft of the Beowulf-poet and inform our understanding of the poem’s major episodes and themes; it further highlights the merits of adopting an interdisciplinary approach alongside a comparative vantage point. As such, The Waning Sword will be compelling reading for Beowulf-scholars and for a wider audience of medievalists.
