ann,ber work from the prolific and abe pen OF
Dew C. CossrAsrlaE PisF, D, D. has been Just
.-hlsbed with the above ,itle. This volume is
n .sstonabc appearance and possesses elaine
;oa.oepdcnt Of those conferred by the Holiday
n,essatation usages Of the time, coming before
Il. public, as i, does. when the principles Of
I.oe.ius Loyola, and the spirit which still ami
mats and governs the influential body Of whom
h vss the founder, arc the subject Of much and
interesting inquiry and debate. |! is written
nth more than Dr. PISCES usual yiger, >and
synces in every pego that earnestness which IS
The strongest proof of an authors sympathy and
harmony Of spirit with his subject. In style 1t is
pure, perspcuous and cho'arly; while its nara
tses of missionary adventure arc exceedingly AMI
mated and impressive. This work contains also
an account Of the ccSssociate laboTs OF the First
Nnen-the companions of Ignatius; and intro
duces us with them INFO distant lands, acqua!nts
ia with their motives, objects and policy, aud
furnishes view of the establishment, progress
and earlier operations Of the Order Of Jesuits.-
The Chapter devoted to st. Francis Xavier Zone
ofaThe Nine y his conversion, Apostolic lega-
lion to the Ind es, his abors at Mozambique, Goa,
Caps Commorir, his travels among, and first
conversions to Christianity OF the japanese is
full Of deep interest and instruction nor is the
least important part of the work the body Of
notes, with which it abounds, from learned aud
Impartial commentators and historians.
Did space (nccozsarily limited By the demands
Of the numerous contemporary publications on
our DESK permit, we could wish TO make some
considerable extracts which would convey an
idea of the merits Of DR. Pisces work we can,
however, find room but for the following:
