The POPE AND THE COUNCIL BY Janus Boston:
Roberts Brothers, 1870.
This is book protesting to be from a
Catholic source, discussing the questions
now .agitating the Catholic Church from
Rome to the uttermost corner of the earth,
and one which will be read with interest
by members of the Church, on both sides
of the subjects discussed, as well as the
public at large. Its statements are con-
densed and its arguments brief We have
not the time to investigate whether the
former are true, or the latter logical; but
imagine that readers of the book will be en-
tertained, even if shocked by its perusal.

AsKARos KAssIs THE CoPT. A Romance Of
Modern Egypt. By Edwin De Leon. Pbiladel-
phia: ]. b. Lippincott & Co., 1870.
A book written.b an American Consul
to Egypt, who weaves fiction out of his
observations. A person who, having such
opportunities for observation, would con-
struct a ''tale" when facts would be
vastly more acceptable, is deficient in
Judgment; and the Consul has not sup
piled this deficiency by style, matter or
manner. There are few relieving pass
ages, but as a whole the story is draft
upon patience, and will scarcely repay for
the time consumed in its reading An
American abroad in official position
should eschew books of romance when he
returns To tolerate the recital of his real
experiences and observations is about as
much as our people can stand.
The Publishers have done their part of
the book very handsomely, and it is for
sale by w. 7. Berry & Co.
