to their children. It is in the perusal of such details that we bring home to ourselves the truly heroic sacrifices that our forefathers endured in those dark and dismal times."--_Tablet._ GROWTH IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF OUR LORD. Meditations for every Day in the Year, exclusive of those for Festivals, Days of Retreat, &c. Adapted from the original of Abbe de Brandt, by Sister Mary Fidelis. A new and Improved Edition, in 3 Vols. Sold only in sets. Price per set, L1 2 6 "The praise, though high, bestowed on these excellent meditations by the Bishop of Salford is well deserved. The language, like good spectacles, spreads treasures before our vision without attracting attention to itself."--_Dublin 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._ HUMPHREY, REV. W. (S.J.) Suarez on the Religious State: A Digest of the Doctrine contained in his Treatise, "De Statu Religionis." 3 vols., pp. 1200. Cloth, roy. 8vo. 1 10 0 "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."--
