LITERARY NOTICES.

A Short cut to the Trite Church, or the Fact and the Word By the Rev Edmund Hill, G.?. ' This is the third edition, published also at the office of the Aye Maria, of a very admirable book of controversy. The author, who is himself a convert from Protestantism, has the advantage of understanding, by personal experience, the difficulties that lie in the path towards truth of the Protestant. These he meets by clear and convincing arguments — examining each point briefly but fully' and with a virile strength, and a simplicity that are very striking. ' To the Protestant desiriDg to know what are the arguments on which Catholics base their doctrine?, or to Catholics called on to defend the truths of their religion against the attacks of Protestants, a better book can hardly be recommended. Like all the productions of the Aye Maria Press it is admirably turned out. Money and a Domestic Currency for New Zealand is the titla of a pamphlet published at the office of the Woodville Examiner, and which contains a lecture recently delivered on the subject by Mr W. Sievwright. The lecturer argues atroDgly in favour of a paper currency for the Colony and a State Bank. The pamphlet may be read with profit by those who are interested in the very important subject with which it deals. Messrs Dawson and Co .
