Isaac V. Baker. Jr., who represents the Twelfth

that swearing to lie, in such matter as this Is

NEW BOOKS.

"The Irish Race" by Rev. Aug. ]. Thebaud Of
the Society OF Jesus, and published in handsome
form by ID. Appleton Co., is book treating its SUBJ
ject in style which is at once fresh and vigorous,
philosophical and eloquent. There s no doubt that
too much friendly sentimentalism on the one side
and inmcal iconocasm on the other have united to
cloud the common mind regarding the history and
the attributes OF that portion Of the Celtic race
which made Ireland its home. The learned author
OF the work before US Is Frenchman, and
brings to his subject deep research wide read
ing and distinguishing calmness the latter
quality with writers Ireland and the Irish.
The standpoint from which he observes most OF the
lasting gories OF the is that OF religious faith
but the treatment is fair and open and has the
saving merit OF being pointed with fact and freed
from can't 1t Is not much Irish history as its
philosophy which he has spread before us and, no
matter how much may have been said against the
conclusions he deduces no treatise either side
has been SO clearly and candidly written. From
the mass OF confusing details which the ordi-
nary reader of Irish history N. Thebaud has con.
structed whole which he treats from various
points OF view-racal, epochal, religious, political
and social-and, in each case, triumphantly
evoKing from the facts the deductions which he
has anticipated in a model preface. Hts view
Of the struggle between the Irish clanshps and
feudalism one may point to as an admirable in
stance Of his style. His homage to the learning Of
Ireland OF the seventh, eight and ninth centuries
develops In its course the cause In character
which then, as now, isolated Ireland from Europe.
There is an ingenuity in his following up the idea
that the Celts have never been seaiarers, which
again he attributes TO the race character. Their
fervid attachment to Catholicity in Ireland he, OF
couse applauds and makes 1t the corner stone OF
Ireland's future glory. Tried and tortured, 1t has
triumphed in making religion free, and with faith
as their stan, he foresees happy fortune for the
Irish at home and abroad. 'Home rule" to be
sought by moral force" alone, he looks on as not
50 far from attainment as Catholic emancipation
was believed by the Froudes OF the time to be
