Part 11 — CHAPTER XX. (continued 4)

To and From the Passion Play, in the Summer of 1871. By the Rev. G. H. Doane. Boston: Patrick Donahoe. 1872.

This elegant volume contains not only an accurate description of the Passion Play—a spectacle to which, of course, none but a Catholic can do justice—but also a great deal of interesting matter about a number of things and places that the author saw on his journeys to and fro. As regards Paris, we have a sketch of some of the deeds of the Commune, and, in particular, the murder of the late archbishop.

It is worthy of remark that, when Father Doane describes whether a place or an incident, he avoids that elaboration and artifice which pall upon the reader in many books of travel, and gives us his thoughts and impressions in an easy and happy style. We congratulate him on his literary efforts; and thank him cordially for affording us so much valuable information in so pleasant a manner.

The Pastoral Address of the Archbishops and Bishops of Ireland on the School Question. It will be got out in a 12mo pamphlet, and will be sold for $3 per 100 copies.

The “Catholic Publication Society” will also publish, early in January, The Liquefaction of the Blood of St. Januarius; Lentent Sermons, from the Italian of Rev. Paul Segneri, S. J.; and Sermons on Ecclesiastical Subjects, Vol. II., by Archbishop Manning.
