REVIEW.

Life of John M'Hale, Archbishop of Tuam : by B. O'Reilly. This is an admirable life, well written, full of interesting and important information. Whoever reads it will be well repaid. Monsigaor O'Reillj has had access to the best sources of accurate information, and he has availed himself to the full of this. Dr. M'Hale lived to a patriarchal age. during which he held a prominent place as prelate, statesman, and author. His learning was extensive and profound, and his genius of a high order. The history of the life of such a man ma«t be oust interesting and useful and at the bands of Mgr. O'Reilly it has lost none of the interest naturally attached to it. Those who feel an interest in the proceedings of the English Government in reference to ecclesiastical affairs in Ireland will find in the life of Archbishop M'Hale some chapters that will not fail to convince them that Providence has watched over the liberty and independence of the true Church.
