of "Life of Blessed Thomas More," "Life of Blessed John
Fisher," &c. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.

"Prepared with the good taste and scholarship which were so
manifest in the biography.... It is remarkable to find how
well the wit and wisdom of the author of 'Utopia' abides the
test of time."--_Scotsman._

SUCCAT; or, Sixty Years of the Life of St. Patrick. By the Very
Rev. Mgr. ROBERT GRADWELL. Crown 8vo., cloth 5s.

Monsignor Gradwell in this work has treated his subject from a
novel point of view. In the first place, he has chosen a portion
only of the life of St. Patrick, and that, the one which has for
the most part been treated with scant notice, namely, the years
that preceded his second arrival in Ireland. Again, he has
attempted to exhibit him in the light in which he was seen by his
contemporaries, and has surrounded him with the actual
circumstances of time and place. The style is eminently readable,
the descriptions are vivid, and the narrative of events is clear
and accurate.

"Miss Allies' 'Leaves' are delightful reading; the English is
remarkably pure and graceful; page after page reads as if it
were original. No commentator, Catholic or Protestant, has
ever surpassed St. John Chrysostom in the knowledge of Holy
Scripture, and his learning was of a kind which is of service
now as it was at the time when the inhabitants of a great
city hung on his words."--_Tablet._

"We earnestly recommend this most beautiful work to all our

author of the 'Apologie des Christenthums,' and as a great

"The Life of Blessed John Fisher could hardly fail to be
interesting and instructive. Sketched by Father Bridgett's
practised pen, the portrait of this holy martyr is no less
vividly displayed in the printed pages of the book than in the
wonderful picture of Holbein, which forms the
frontispiece."--_Tablet._

Review._

The Life and Writings of Blessed Thomas More, Lord
Chancellor of England and Martyr under Henry
VIII. With Portrait of the Martyr taken from the
Crayon Sketch made by Holbein in 1527 0 7 6

"Father Bridgett has followed up his valuable Life of Bishop
Fisher with a still more valuable Life of Thomas More. It is, as
the title declares, a study not only of the life, but also of the
writings of Sir Thomas. Father Bridgett has considered him from
every point of view, and the result is, it seems to us, a more
complete and finished portrait of the man, mentally and
physically, than has been hitherto presented."--_Athenæum._

"These are good sermons.... The great merit of which is that they

The Autobiography of Archbishop Ullathorne. Demy
8vo., cloth 0 7 6

"Admirably edited and excellently produced."--_Weekly Register._

"Told in manly, vigorous English, and filled with bits of
descriptions of sea-life that are quite as good as anything Dana
ever wrote, and characterized by a certain quaint humour that has
frequently reminded us of the writings of Charles Waterton, the
naturalist; this autobiography is certainly the most entertaining
book that has been added to Catholic literature for many a long
year."--_Caxton Review._

HEDLEY, BISHOP.

Our Divine Saviour, and other Discourses. Crown
8vo. 0 6 0

"A distinct and noteworthy feature of these sermons is, we
certainly think, their freshness--freshness of thought,
treatment, and style; nowhere do we meet pulpit commonplace or
hackneyed phrase--everywhere, on the contrary, it is the heart of
the preacher pouring out to his flock his own deep convictions,
enforcing them from the 'Treasures, old and new,' of a cultivated
mind."--_Dublin Review._

"This laborious and skilfully executed work is a distinct
addition to English theological literature. Father Humphrey's
style is quiet, methodical, precise, and as clear as the subject
admits. Every one will be struck with the air of legal exposition
which pervades the book. He takes a grip of his author, under
which the text yields up every atom of its meaning and
force."--_Dublin Review._

The One Mediator; or, Sacrifice and Sacraments.
Crown 8vo, cloth 0 5 0

"An exceedingly accurate theological exposition of doctrines
which are the life of Christianity and which make up the soul of
the Christian religion.... A profound work, but so far from being
dark, obscure, and of metaphysical difficulty, the meaning of
each paragraph shines with a crystalline clearness."--_Tablet._

KING, FRANCIS.

The Church of my Baptism, and why I returned to
it. Crown 8vo, cloth 0 2 6

"A book of the higher controversial criticism. Its literary style
is good, its controversial manner excellent, and its writer's
emphasis does not escape in italics and notes of exclamation, but
is all reserved for lucid and cogent reasoning. Altogether a book
of an excellent spirit, written with freshness and
distinction."--_Weekly Register._

"In vivid interest and in literary power, no less than in solid
historical value, Dr. Lee's present work comes fully up to the
standard of its predecessors; and to say that is to bestow high
praise. The book evinces Dr. Lee's customary diligence of
research in amassing facts, and his rare artistic power in
welding them into a harmonious and effective whole."--_John

"A book which deserves careful attention. In respect of literary
qualities, such as effective arrangement, and correct and lucid
diction, this essay, by an English Catholic scholar, is not

suggestive."--_Tablet._

MORRIS, REV. W. B. (OF THE ORATORY.)

The Life of St. Patrick, Apostle of Ireland. Fourth
edition. Crown 8vo, cloth 0 5 0

"The secret of Father Morris's success is, that he has got the
proper key to the extraordinary, the mysterious life and
character of St. Patrick. He has taken the Saint's own authentic
writings as the foundation whereon to build."--_Irish
Ecclesiastical Record._

"Promises to become the standard biography of Ireland's Apostle.
For clear statement of facts, and calm judicious discussion of
controverted points, it surpasses any work we know of in the
literature of the subject."--_American Catholic Quarterly._

Lives of the Saints. Written chiefly for devout souls such as are
trying to live an interior and supernatural life by following in
the footsteps of our Lord and His saints, this work is eminently

PAYNE, JOHN ORLEBAR, (M.A.)

Records of the English Catholics of 1715. Demy 8vo.
Half-bound, gilt top 0 15 0

"A book of the kind Mr. Payne has given us would have astonished
Bishop Milner or Dr. Lingard. They would have treasured it, for
both of them knew the value of minute fragments of historical
information. The Editor has derived nearly the whole of the
information which he has given, from unprinted sources, and we
must congratulate him on having found a few incidents here and
there which may bring the old times back before us in a most
touching manner."--_Tablet._

of the Register of their Estates, with Genealogical
and other Notes, and an Appendix of

"Most carefully and creditably brought out.... From first to
last, full of social interest and biographical details, for which
we may search in vain elsewhere."--_Antiquarian Magazine._

"A book to hunt about in for curious odds and ends."--_Saturday

"These registers tell us in their too brief records, teeming with
interest for all their scantiness, many a tale of patient
heroism."--_Tablet._

PORTER, ARCHBISHOP.

storehouse of hints on matters spiritual; from them the layman
will reap crisp and clear information on many ecclesiastical
points; the critic can listen to frank opinions of literature of
every shade; and the general reader can enjoy the choice bits of
description and morsels of humour scattered lavishly through the
book."--_Tablet._

ROSE, STEWART.

St. Ignatius Loyola and The Early Jesuits, with more
than 100 Illustrations by H. W. and H. C. Brewer
and L. Wain. The whole produced under the
immediate superintendence of the Rev. W. H. Eyre,
S.J. Super Royal 8vo. Handsomely bound in
Cloth, extra gilt. (net.) 0 15 0

"This magnificent volume is one of which Catholics have justly
reason to be proud. Its historical as well as its literary value
is very great, and the illustrations from the pencils of Mr.
Louis Wain and Messrs. H. W. and H. C. Brewer are models of what
the illustrations of such a book should be. We hope that this
book will be found in every Catholic drawing-room, as a proof
that 'we Catholics' are in no way behind those around us in the
beauty of the illustrated books that issue from our hands, or in
the interest which is added to the subject by a skilful pen and
finished style."--_Month._

"Popularly written, in the best sense of the word, skilfully
avoids all wearisome detail, whilst omitting nothing that is of
importance in the incidents of the Saint's existence, or for a
clear understanding of the nature and the purpose of those
sublime theological works on which so many Pontiffs, and notably
Leo XIII., have pronounced such remarkable and repented
commendations."--_Freeman's Journal._
