NEW PUBLICATIONS.
NELLIE NEfTERv1LLE; or. One Of tn
Cromwell in Ireland. New York: Cath
Ole Publication Society. 1868.
This work has been before the publ
some time, and has received universe
commentator. We have shown otr ap
probation by placing it before our reader
as it appeared in the Catholic World. Tn
period of Irish history in which Cromwell
and his fanatical horde overran Ireland il
one of the most distressing in her annals
Some time ago we gave extracts from
"Prendergast's History of Ireland, ;" rela
tive to the savageism which characterized
the reign of Cromwell and his ferociou
ieutenants. Miss Cadets pen has worked
the incidents of these times into story o
absorbing interest, which increases will
thrilling emotion as the narrative pro
crosses.
We are indebted to the courtesy of Mr.
Lawrence Kehoe, agent, New York, for :
copy, and advise all who can enjoy tai.
free from the objections attaching to the
sensational, and still soul-strring in a
healthy way, to procure the work.
A SISTERS STORY. By Mrs. Augustus
Emily Bowls. New York: Catholic
Publication Society, 1876 Nassau street.
1868.
The Catholic Publication Society are per-
forming a noble work while engaged in
placing within reach of Catholic families
reading of an enrolling and healthy char
acter, at a time when the shops are overrun
with works of a morbid, sentimental, and,
alas! too often, of q criminal tendency. The
characters introduced in the above named
work are, many of them, conspicuous
for their position in the literary world,
and eminent for their Christian life; and
among them we have Pere Ravignan,
Count de Montalembert, M. Dupanloup,
the Able Gubert, Gioberti, and others
all prominent in the century's eye. ga
Sisters Story" combines three attractive
elements biography, history, and romance.
We most cordially recommend this charm:
ing work to every Christian family.
We feel bound to repeat, what on a
former occasion we said regarding the style
in which the Catholic Publication Society
gets up it's works. Heretofore, the Catholic
press 1abored under the imputation-we
marred by illegible letter press, slovenly
proof-reading, and fimsy binding. The
Catholic Publication Society have reformed
all this and we can truly say that their
issues will compare favorably with those
of the oldest houses in the trade.
Our thanks are rendered to the publishers
for copy.
