We have received a beautifully printed little
work with the above title. 1t is tale of religious
action and interest, told in very felcitous man.
nsr. The incidents are stirring and we'll adapted
to the propositions of the work and the refec-
ions aptly directed--evincing an excellent
knowledge of the suitable and naturally acces-
ary. In it. religious teachings it seems to have
ben designed by the author as inductive to a
further and more mature understanding of the
ienets it advocates which, the reader will readily
perceive, are strictly Catholic. In times, how
ever, when i, is the evident, perhaps the not un-
important disposition of the public mind to
search all things," this tale is of seasonable
publication: not the less SO, certainly, that the
mdgio.narrative works of the present day are
characterized by the ortter in re, or that the au-
thor NAV have adopted the more compromising
o: conciIiating extreme; for sach works will IN
v,riably, in their lneaments trace theil pafen'age
b the times which produced them. The occur
nnces which, in May last, gave to the city OF
Philadelphia a reputation which it will take we
ssr, a long time to efface, are portrayed by the
author in caus.ic, but scarcely unjust rnanner'
and form goodly portion of these pages where
they assume a well sustained narrative inrcrest.
The voume is interspersed with several fine
pens, which, in addition to its other literary
arit, will render Mora Carmody pleasant and
We trust, as it deserves, a popular faVorite.
