velations; whereas St. Theresa ad dressed herself to a thorough andy sis of the various processes by which the union of the soul with God is achieved"
 So much singular eulogy have, tine magistral writings, ascetic-scientifical of the remarkable Doctor Theresa of Jesus, deserved; whose depth, thought and sentiments of intuitive charac ter, is evident that transcend not only from the philosophic type but the very scholastic theology which, as proved by St. Thomas Aquinas q. q. 1. art. 4.) is rather speculative than practical science. Strokes of Platonic lore, whose worth is merely contingent, appear scattered in those mathematical theories, pure philoso- phical and human notions being in want of esential value in that con cealed and extremely lofty science, by St. John of the cross, in the dark night of the soul, defined: "lnfused contemplation or mystic theology on which ciandestinely God teaches the soul and trains her in perfection of love without doing she anything, be- sides attending God lovingly, hearing Him and receiving His Eight without deciphering how this contemplation is." So that, amongst the mysticism of the Greek philosopher and his sequelae, Plotinus, founder of the Neoplatonism, whose philosophical synthesis entangle those his words when dying articulated: q go to con vey what there is of divine in us to what there is of divine in the univ erse," and the mysticism of the christian schools, for ever and ever there will have between them the abyss discovering the natural order from the supernatural and the Grace.
 Expounded already this, the depth of the MORAL-SCIENTIFIC writings of St. Theresa juts out, in like manner that it's intrinsical form: first and second element of all liter ary work. Let us now consider the third; the contrivance availing the artist, the writer, to delineate and deck his concepts, the entrins sic form, constituted by words, phrases and peculiar idioms of the artist realizing the ideal that racks him.
 Eliminated from her literature the affectation, vanity and exaggeration, there comes forth such a naturalness from her acutness of skill that with out degenerating on subtilities or euphuisms, without effort, without remeditation with opportune pre- cision, congruence and decorum on the concepts, figures, fondnesses and epithets, knows how to conciliate amicably the nobleness and elegance of style with the vehemence of her affections and profundity and eleva- tion of her thought; artlessness that embossed by the originality and variety in unity of a florid and ele- gant air on account of it's metaphors, pariphrases and allegories, embroid- cred with festive mirthful grace beyond the reach of art so well mated with the loftiness of the subject, it all, is the result of the aesthetic adornment regulated by good taste: the language and idioms of our as cetic composers who were most yer sant to speak of God and infame hearts aught better than we do: di- vine and spiritual writers who spiri- tualiszing the speech gave to it mien of deity, and whose works are valued as a libraby of Holy Fathers and should be our principal book store and the daily nourishment of our souls. The literature of St Theresa embraces world of expec- tations; is a celestial tour; divine ecstasy and the anticipant savour of
