SATISFACTORY LETTER.

5, Wood •street, Millbank, Westminster,
October 5, 1867.
Sir,—Some months back I had an attack of Bronchitis,
which left at times a tickling in my Throat, with other
unpleasant feelings. I was advised to try the BALSAM OF
ANISEED; I did so, and have found very great relief ; it is
most comforting in allaying irritation, andgiving strength
to the voice.

You are at liberty to make use of this as you think pro-
per, and I earnestly hope that others may benefit by it as
I have done.—With many thanks from your obedient ser-
vant, SAMUEL DEAR,
Dean's Verger, Westminster Abbey.
To Mr. Powell.
Ask for POWELL'S BALSAM of ANISEED.

that such a work has been tried, neither com-
prehensiveness, generality, nor completeness
in the details have been as yet obtained ;
however, such as it is, it gives a general view
of the exceedingly manifold and grand effect
of the Holy Ghost, who has pity on the souls
in our century in so marvellous a manner.
It is a splendid testimony to the truth and
godliness of Christianity in general, and of the
Catholic Church in pirticular. Generally, it is
remarked that in many cases the converts
have not b: en struck by the grand and impos-
ing outward appearances of the Church, but by
a marvellous inward spur and incitement ; the
_souls have been urged without having come
into close eantacl6 with the Church, nay, even
after having been unfavourably impressed by
her.

The portraiture gallery of the German con-
verts begins with the celebrated Count Frede-
ric c,
Leopold Stolberg, and enumerates a long
series of the most prominent names in science,°
the fine arts, and literature. Most of them
are historians and artists. If the volume were
to be translated into English, which is cer-
tainly desirable, the very entangled process
of the philosophical development of some—
for instance that of Frederic von Schlegel ana
others—should be given much shorter and
simpler. The volume- which treats of Eng-
land would, .no doubt, be better written by
an Englishman, but as, to my knowledge, such
a work does not yet exist, Dr. Rosenthal's
book would greatly facilitate such labour. He
has described some of the conversions with
much pains. Those of Dr. Bramston, Miss
Anna Dolling, Kenelm Digby, P. George Spen-
cer, Frederick Lucas, Fanny Pittar, Dr. Ward,
Dr. Newman, Oakeley, Gordon, Earl of Den-
bigh, Dr. Manning, Dr. Bailie, W. R. Brownlow
and many others, are beautifully written.
A similar and still larger work has been
begun by the aged and learned Bishop of Stras-
burg, Dr. Boss. It is a collection of the most
important historical and philosophical docu-
ments—viz., biographies and controversies
about the converts of the preceding centuries
up to the time of the Reformation. Five large
volumes have been already published within
a year, seven others are yet to follow. This
is, of course, more a monumental work for the
learned and libraries than a lecture for the
general public. It is to be hoped that very soon
a skilful hand will work out the material here
deposited into a popular history of the conver-
sions from the time of the Reformation till our
days.
Would to God that the great work of the
reunion with the mother Church, which He
has begun with the scattered influences in
social life, which appears to occupy Him more
than ever, considering the events which the
coming year portends, would draw near to its
accomplishment!—From a Correspondent of the
Westminster Gazelle.
