All scholars, all Christians, all Catholics,
ought to be taught the beauty and value of
Cardinal Manning's works. Our youth are
familiarized with the writings of the ancients.
with the classic elegance of Addison, whose
name is descriptive of q certain style of com.
position; all reading people follow the fashion
of studying the modern poets; but few, com.
paratively, in our country, know or appreciate
the productions of Cardinal Manning His
name should awaken interest, for it is that of
a great man, a man who has accomplished
great thinga in England, and who seems des.
tined to do stift greater -thiags for the world
itself. Having been q Protestant, an Anglican
minister, q married man; and being now q
Catholic priest, Archbishop of Westminster
and Cardinal of the Roman Court, surely here
are materials for interest in the man, for con.
fdence in the writer, for love and admiration
| of the prelate.
In the book before rs, we have the thoughts
and feelings of the learned Cardinal in regard
to other great men. In the Misoellanies, we
have paper on Father Faber, written January,
1864; one on Cardinal Wiseman, 1865; and
another on Frederic Ozsnam, that noble Catho-
lie layman whose great life was lived in few
short years. The Letter to Earl Grey, in 1868.
on Ireland, is a masterpiece of eioquenoe and
knowledge, and should be read most carefully
by those who imagine that English hearts can
not beat with sympathy for Ireland's wrongs.
The tributes paid to that Isle of Saints make
the eye fill with tears of joy, the heart swell
with feelings of exultatior.
The article on "The Independence of the

, the concluding extract from Dolliuger's {" His.
tory of the Church " must make the apoetate
!, writhe as his own words rise up against him.
On page 366 We read these beautiful words ::
."If England had been less prosperous in
= this world, it might have been more faithful
d to the Kingdom Of God. If Ireland has had
y an Inheritance of sorrow, it has received, in
the order of grace and life eternal, the recon-
pense of great reward"
On page 3e2 these words ring in the brain:
: "Eugliahmen, who have prased for three

% The article " On Progress" we commend to
all our readers, and with these words of the
" thoughtful writer We close this notice:
