'The Seven Hills'

r ,r, 1O r St \i kllow Ulc brillla "L litci.uy aurl pi iestly Rifis of the \eiy Rev. Dr. o'Riomlc.ii, Rector of the lush College, Home, took it as a iuirgonc conclusion mat us occupancy of (hat lesponsrble position would boon leave a deep impress upon the intellectual life of that noted institute of piety and learning. His success as an administrator has already evinced itself in many ways. Bui one of the things that will, perhaps most appeal to the outside, public is the issue of a hiahclass quarterly, the iiuiugural number of which is now before us. It, is a bulky magazine of lttft pa^es, and is edited by the Oliver Plunketl Society ctablish.-d'amonß the students. But it is no mere college publication, n takes from the fust issue a recognised and honored Piaep, and on its own merits, in the ranks of magazine literature, and appeals to the geneial Catholic- public by serving up to them in attractive form ' a dainty dish' to lay before the king,' of subjects that should interest them. The ' meaty ' character of this latest accession to the ranks of . Catholic magazine literature may be estimated from the following varied ami substantial bill of fare that has been placed 'before readers of the maiden issue : ' I. Pius X. (Life of), by the Editors.—ll. Memorials of Oliver Plunkett, by His Eminence Cardinal Moran.— lll. The Beginnings of the Reformation in Dublin, by Most Rev. Du. Donnelly —IV The lush Martyrs, by Professor Reginald Walsh OP-V Footprints of Horace, by J. p. D' Alton, B A -Vl" Christianity in the Light of Recent Criticism — VIT The Lute Right Rev. Consignor Murphy, 1) D. (lat-i- Rector of the Irish College),, .by the Fdilors.-VITI. Reviews of Books, by Very Rev. M. J. O'Riordan, n.D.— IX. Roman Diary, by the Editors.— X. In Review Land.' In type appearance, quality of paper, and general get-up- the new publication follows the best traditions of quarterly literature. It deserves success, and, we have no doubt, will amply command it.
