souls was a work that God had long since desired. The Congregation was first established at Paris in 1856. It gradually grew into form, and works of mercy, such as visiting the sick and dying, were added to their rule.
In this work, which every Catholic, and every Protestant interested in the working of the religious orders and in that interior life which aims at perfection, ought to make a point of reading, no fewer than sixteen different congregations of women are fully described. We fully agree with the author that it is impossible to trace the course of religious orders without perceiving them to be no merely human system, no invention of man, but the direct work of God Himself. Attached to the end of the volume a list is given of all the religious communities of women, in number 295. Pains have been taken, says the authoress, to make the list complete; but the number of orders in the Church are so numerous that it is very possible some may have been omitted. It is probable that the enumeration may be correct as far as concerns those of French origin, but we think that some communities of Italian or Spanish foundation may have been overlooked. The list of those of Great Britain and Ireland is as follows; total of contemplative communities, 36: total of active communities, 94. We add, as another commendation to this volume that it comes from the press of Emily Faithfull. Her practical charity is a nun-like virtue. No man can be indifferent to the success of an undertaking which gives honourable employment to women who have been left to bear unaided and lonely the heavy burden and trials of life.
