The article reports on consumer credit and discusses the paper, "Evaluative Techniques in Consumer Finance - Experimental Results and Policy Implications for Financial Institutions" by Vincent P. Apilado, Don C. Warner, and Joel J. Dauten. Apilado and his colleagues attempt to develop methods to attain optimal credit acceptance policies before giving credit to consumers. A sample of 475 good and bad loans was examined to show character and capacity with collateral set up as a separate area. The most important factor found relating to bankruptcies is the ratio of personal assets to personal debt.

This paper, written in a contemporary hand (possibly the hand of Thos. Phelippes), appears to be a kind of index to a collection of documents relating to Mary Stuart. It is not dated, the date here ascribed to it being simply that of the most recent paper enumerated. All the papers it mentions are printed in the foregoing collection except the first, the second, the fourth and the sixth. Two of these, the second and the fourth, being proclamations, are printed by Dyson in his Collection of Proclamations ff. 238, 242. The “Subjects Petition,” the first paper referred to, is no doubt that one presented by both houses of Parliament to Elizabeth in 1586 urging the execution of the Queen of Scots. It is printed in the State Trials i, p. 1190. Serjeant Puckering's speech, the sixth reference, is probably that one which he made to Elizabeth when he presented to her the petition just referred to, an abstract of which is printed by D'Ewes p. 400 seq.

The article presents abstracts of psychological research.

The article examines a study that investigate the effects of large doses of various amino acids in combination with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor on the behavior of schizophrenics. The researchers found bufotenin both in free and conjugated forms in the urine of four schizophrenic patients under dietary control. Bufotenin was also excreted in some patients in the absence of monoamine oxidase blockade. Furthermore, increases of urinary bufotenin and other N-methylated indoleamines were observed before the mental and behavioral symptoms of the patients worsened.
