you at a mud~ earlier date. I trust you will excuse tardiness it was almost necessary to make the delay, ~ince a history calls for some iittk attcntion.
Your history has been given a perusal, and I would add that the work of review
was most pleasurable to say the least, the matter is well and elegantly arranged.
Father Spalding has given us a readable history~the most agreeable boon the
student can possess. With thanks, I remain, etc., J. V. HUSsIE.
NOTICES OF THE PRESS~
From the Catholic Golum~ian.
"It is higl~ time that our Catholic schools were attending to the history of the
grand organization on whose account they exist. The children cannot be expected to
know their religion fully without knowing its history. Father Spalding has succeeded
in popularizing church history, and should receive the gratitude of all friends of
Catholic education. The work is beautifully illustrated and well printed, making a
very fascinating book for children."
From the ~ew Orleans Star.
This volume treats of church history to the present day. The story of the progress of the church through persecutions and trials is briefly but interestingly told.
This volume cannot fail to become popular with teachers and pupils in Catholic
schools. The book is printed from clear type on fine paper, and is substantially
bound."
From the INsh Ecclesiastical Record.
"We can heartily commend it for school use. The matter is abundant and
judiciously selected, the style of the writing is easy and graceful, and as for form and
order we have rarely met with any school-book so admirably brought out. It is supplied with almost every help for a young student for instance, the subject-matter of
each section is printed briefly in Clarendon-press type; questions are printed at the
bottom of each page, and, finally, the book is very profusely illustrated with highlyfinished woodcuts. We can heartily commend it as a school-book.-T~~ EDlToa."
From the Cath~lic Telegraph.
`This is really a great and much-needed book. It is, as a compendium of
church history, a splendid success, reflecting credit alike on the reverend author and
the publishers. This history is very systematic, rendering it an invaluable text-book
f~r our schools. Its pages are richly illustrated. Beginning from the foundation of
the church, it brings down a succinct account of events until the present day. It
is a work of surpassing excellence."
From ll~e Texas Monitor.
"This church history is the best text-book for school use that has so far been
~ublished in English."
From the Freeman's Jo urn at.
"The Catholic Publication Society Company gives to the young people of the
country a new and much-needed book. It is written by an American for American
children; by a zealous Catholic for Catholics whom he wants to be zealous. The few
slight defects in the book occur only through the ~~~~s5~t~ of putting`infinite riches
