is drawn up for the instruction of those who, fully or half converted, desire to learn the doctrine of the Church as to the points on which chiefly a convert's difficulties turn. This n:ew book of Father Devine, the biographer of Father Ignatius Spencer, is in its purport more re

mote and more general, and takes the soul, as it were, when at a greater distance from the truth. It treats of the different ways in which the grace of conversion is wont to work, and then of the- various forms of unbelief for which converts come into the Church.- The mere head ings, of the chapters show the great extent of ground traversed; and it

maybe doubted whether such snbj ects as Pantheism, Dei Material ism, Ulniversalism, Scepticism, and sundry other isms can be profitatbly treated in a short chapter apiece. The rest of the volume is taken up

with such matters as the settling of final doubts and objections, the practical method of reception, and the subsequent treatment of con verts.

-VIII. Two new Book/ for May.

A BOOK for May has a better chance of falling into the hands of many of our readers in time for May by being brought under their notice now. Our May Number might say its good word for such books a little too late. We may, therefore, at once give the benefit of our good word to "The Pilgrim's May Wreath, Interwoven with Sweet Memories of our

Forefathers' Devotion to the Mother of Jesus and our Mother" (Burns and Oates). Here Father Thaddeus, O.S.F., gives for each day of

May an account of some English shrine of the Blessed Virgin, a little dissertation on one of herVirtues, and a history of some favour wrought

through her intercession. The Bishop of Salford calls it "England's Montth of Mary." Any " children of Mary" who have not yet in their possession Father R. S. Bowden's "Miniature Life of lary" (Burns & Oates), ought to get it forthwith. It is a beautiful little book.

IX. New Sixpenny Edition of "Emmanuel." By the REV. MATTHIEW

RUSSELL, .S.J. (Dublin: M. . Gill & Son.)

Tni opportunities afforded by this Magazine for calling the attention of pious readers to this book of Eucharistic verses at the various stages

of its career, have helped not a little to pass it through three large editions at home and one in America, and to secure for it the distinc

tion of being issu-ed in this cheap popular form. For obvious reasons

we have not here to criticise, but merely to state that this sixpenny edition is printed in the same open, readable type, though in a smaller

and much more economical form, which may allow it to be used more

freely as a book of visits to the Blessed Sacrament. The work will

still be procurable at all times in the larger and more elegant form, in

which also the companion volume "Madonna" (devout verses about the Blessed Virgin and the Saints) will shortly be published.
