The temporary burial Of St. George Mivart
in the catacombs of Kensal Green without the
rites of the Roman Catholic Church, owing to
the breach between the learned biologist and
Cardinal Vaughan respecting his Nineteenth
Century articles, has created more talk than
any other minor incident of the week. DR..
Mivart's scientific attachments were probably
overvalued and would speedily have been for
gotten and he would have been buried almost
without observation if the Cardinal. who had
been his personal friend, had condemned
him TO make a general confession of faith in
terms which he. educated and advanced
thinker. considered impossible. He is now COM
pared 10 Calico whereas little attention would
have been paid TO the episode if his opinions
had simply been condemned as in conflict with
the teachings of Rome and of Christianity, and
an arbitrary confession Of faith had not been
exacted. Cardinal Vaughan is recovering from
g, severe illness. and will speedily settle the
controversy raised over the burial of Dr. Mivart
