Inp of the success of this movemHgss oil
attention was drawn by th"ahs' ana IN
Dl Charming to the. Astor OF unlta-
Isao ha hecar." In 1886, he organ
a;o. ~ .Jn, the Society for Christian
;a"a ,"@ and progress, of which he retained
lh6 pastorate, till he ceased preaching in
lS43 Immediately after his removal to
Boston, he published his New Views of
Christianity, Society and the Church.
In 1888 he established the Boston Quar-
terly Review, of which he was editor and
almost sole writer, during the five years of
its separate existence, until it was merged
into the Democratic Review, of New
York
Having gone in one direction about as
far as was possible, and meeting with lit
tie either of sympathy or success, he made
a rcactionary movement as far as he could
go, by his entrance into the Roman Cath
olic communion in 1874. Since that time
he has labored strenuously for the doc
trines of that church, and has supported
almost single handed in Boston and New
York, "Brownson's Quarterly Review"
devoted especially to the defence of Cath
Ole doctrines, but also discussing the
questions in politics and literature with
which the public mind is occupied.
Dr. Brownson had been invited to ac-
eept chair in the new Irish University
in Dublin, but he preferred to continue
his labors in his native country.
His review is regularly repnhlished in
London, simultaneously with its appear
ance in this country.
DR. Brownson has held no uncertain po.
sition in the present contest, but his voice
has been raised in opposition to rebellion
and treachery, and in behalf of the per-
petuity of this benifcent government
His lecture before the Institute will be
upon the d" National Crisis, and without
doubt, will be worthy of the high reputa-
tion which he has won in this country
and in the world.
