Bene, Eduard (ed.). Les Lumieres en Hongrie, en Europe Centrale et en Europe Orientale. Actes du Colloque de Matrafured, 3-5 November 1970. Akademia Kiado, Budapest, 1971. 125 pp.

The first of what is intended to be a regular biennial series of colloquia on the Enlightenment in Central and Eastern Europe took place in Matra?

fured, Hungary, in November 1970. This volume contains all the papers presented during the three days of the conference and a short summary of the discussions which followed the papers. Historians from Hungary, Austria, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Rumania, France and Belgium parti? cipated. The main themes presented for discussion were the social struc? ture of Hungary in the 18th century, the relations between Joseph II and the Hungarian Freemasons, and the influence of the Enlightenment on national consciousness and literature in Central and Eastern Europe. Professor Benda's lucid analysis of the complicated class and national

composition of Hungarian society, Professor Balasz's paper on the Hun?

garian Freemasons, which is based on new material and offers new in?

sights, and Professor Sziklay's brief but stimulating remarks on the function of literature in the emergence of national consciousness, deserve special mention, and should be read by all interested in 18th-century and

Enlightenment studies. Leeds Ernst Wangermann

The original Polish edition of this important work?Stosunki polsko- niemieckie ig33~ig38?was reviewed here in January 1967 (vol. XLV, no. 104, pp. 257-8). But a translation of it into German is very welcome, although its colossal price, which must surely be a record even today (nfl. 175?or over ?22) is to be regretted: who is supposed to buy this volume at this price? The translation, by the late Norbert Damerau, is accurate but somewhat wooden. No changes or revisions seem to have been made by the author. London F. L. Carsten

This brief study deals with a subject hitherto not investigated: the forms in which the unification of Austria with Germany was carried out. In
