CARDINAL 'WISEMAN'S eatroordinary Pastoral
ttt
regard to Revelation and Thvolution, to Btshop
Colenso and General Garibaldi, to Convocation and
the Lord Chancellor's Judgment about Eternal Tor-
ments, to the Essayists and Reviewers, to the Geo'
logists and Ethnologists—almost the whole of which
remarkable document was given in extensoin The Sun
of Monday evening—has now, we observe, been pub-
lished in its entirety, in the form of a pamphlet of 20
pages octavo, by the Messrs. Burns and Lambert, of
Portman-square. Opening up, as it has already done,
so wide a field of controversy, this Pastoral, in a
form admitting thus of its preservation for the boole
shelves, will be acceptable, we doubt not, far more
widely and generally than among the Cardinal's
own religionists.
