Chapter LXVI: Part X: I (3)

The Catholic Publication Society has just published new editions of _Gahan's History of the Catholic Church_ and _Mylius's History of England_. Both works are continued down to the present time. The Society also publishes a new and improved edition of _Fleury's Historical Catechism_, revised, corrected, and edited by Rev. Henry Formby. This excellent work is intended as a class-book for schools, and, if ordered in quantities, the Society is prepared to furnish it at an extraordinarily low price. The Society has also in the hands of the binder Fr. Formby's _Pictorial Bible and Church History Stories_. This work ought to be introduced into our schools.

Mr. P. F. Cunningham, Philadelphia, has in press _Cineas_, a story of the time of Nero, the burning of Rome by that tyrant, and the destruction of Jerusalem. Mr. Donahoe, Boston, announces as in press a _Compendium of Irish History_, _Ned Rusheen_, and _The Spouse of Christ_--all by Sister Mary Francis Clare; also, _The Monks of the West_, by Montalembert; a _Life of Pius IX._, and _Ballads of Irish Chivalry_, etc., by R. D. Joyce. Messrs. Kelly, Piet & Co., Baltimore, announce as in press _Mary Benedicta_ and the _Pearl of Antioch_. Messrs. Murphy & Co., Baltimore, have just completed their _Church Registers_, comprising Baptism, Matrimony, Confirmation, Interments, etc.--in all, three Latin Registers and four _Church Records_, uniformly bound and put up in neat boxes.

A MISTAKE CORRECTED.--Mr. Robert A. Bakewell desires us to correct a statement which was made in our last number, in the article "The Secular not Supreme," respecting the views formerly expressed by that gentleman in _The Shepherd of the Valley_, on the subject discussed in the aforesaid article. Mr. Bakewell has frequently contradicted a misquotation and misinterpretation of his language by secular and sectarian papers, which has made him say that Catholics, if they ever became a large majority of the people of this country, would suppress religious liberty. What he really did say was that, in the event supposed, they would, in accordance with Catholic principles, restrain by law the teaching of those errors which are subversive of _natural religion and morality_. Mr. Bakewell states, also, that he has never retracted the views which he expressed in his published writings on this subject, and says that they were impugned by two only of the Catholic newspapers at the time.

Transcriber's Note:

_Underscores_ surround italicized words; =Equal signs= surround bold.

Obvious typographical errors were repaired, but legimate archaic spellings were retained (for example, villany, villanous, stalworth, reconnoissance, idyl, etc.)

"To Be Continued" on P. 412, 476, 541, and 618 were missing from the original, and were added to alert the reader to continuations.

P. 51-54, in the article on "Sor Juana Ines De La Cruz," the Spanish stanzas and their English translations were in opposite columns. For ease of reading in multiple formats, each English stanza has been indented below its Spanish original.

P. 633, "Memoir of Father John de Brébeuf": "what a martyr bore a Christian may have courage to Three.'and bringing the scalding water from the caldron"--there appears to be text missing between "courage to" and "Three" in the original publication. Unable to determine what that text would be.
