''The Greville Memoirs" has been
received with such universal favor,
that we experience quite a new SEN
sation on reading a really critical re-
view of them. Such, however, is the
one before us, which not only points
out the lack Of taste, not to say good
feeling, that places before the pub
lie, records of private remarks and
conversations, referring to people
still living, but in several instances
impeaches the accuracy Of the facts
given. The gauntlet is here boldly
thrown down to the Edinburgh Re-
view, which, in the October number
of last year, bestowed unqualified
praise on these Memoirs.
In the Quarterly for October, there
was an article describing the Cor

Jesuits is here given. The informa-

whose "Compendium of Moral The
ology" has been designated in Roman
Catholic Seminaries in all lands, as
the manual of Moral Theology.
The "Life of the Prince Consort"
is another work which is receiving
high praise from all quarters. In
the present notice of it, we have an
account of the difficulties Mr.. Martin
has had to encounter, and the happy
manner in which he has succeeded in
overcoming them, besides an inter
esting summary of the Princes char
acter. a. Fu
