prayer, together with a salutary practical reflection. Whilst this book, because of its simple. structure and consecutiveness, is admirably adapted to the humble capacity of the poor and unlettered, it will be found, at the same time, to be well reasoned throughout and convincing; and of this I can advance no better proof than by referring the intelligent reader to the chapter on the Catholic doctrine of the Invocation of Saints, which is very clearly set forth therein according to the teaching of the great Council of Trent, and established beyond the possibility of reasonable doubt or contradiction. "The Life of St. Joseph" is published by Messrs. GILL & SON, of Dublin. It has the accessary advantages of fine type and excellent paper. Its orthodoxy is vouched for by the approval of the distinguished President of Maynooth. It is offered to the public at a moderate price. It treats of one who, after Our Blessed Lady, is entitled to our highest homage; and I wish it, accordingly, a large circulation, and predict for it the most salutary and substantial results. T. W.
