NAZARETH HOUSE, CHRISTCHURCH HOME FOR AGED POOR AND ORPHAN AND INCURABLE CHILDREN. This Institution is a Branch of the well-known Nazareth House, Hammersmith, London, which has 29 Branch Houses in the United Kingdom, Africa, and Australia; affords a permanent home to aged and infirm poor of both sexes, also to Orphan and Incurable Girls (those entirely idiotic or suffering from fits excepted). The Home has no funds, and depends entirely for the support of the poor on the alms collected daily by the Sisters in money, food, and clothes. The aged poor are received without distinction as to creed or country, and left perfectly free to attend their own place of worship. A number of applications had to be refused for want of space, and the Sisters were obliged to build, and thus incur a very heavy debt; but they rely entirely upon Divine providence and the generosity of their many kind benefactors (which has never yet failed them) to enable them to pay off this debt. The House may be visited daily between the hours of 2 and 4 p.m. Cheques and p.o. orders may be made payable to the Superior, Mother M. Felix.

Brought up to date. 426 pages of closely-printed, matter, with a searching double-column index of 24 pages; printed on beautiful paper, and handsomely bound in cloth gilt. The scope of the book is set forth in the following words from the Pref ace : •*-' The object of the present writer is to set forth the real facts and figures of crime in Ireland; to compare these with the statistics of crime in such admittedly law-abiding countries as England and Wales, Scotland etc.; to examine into the motives and the methods of both the official and the unofficial exaggeration of the delinquencies of the Irish people; to present to the reader detailed evidence of this curious phase of political agitation- and to advance large and outstanding facts and features of Irish life which go to show that the wrongs perpetrated by the law, by the ministers of the law, and by the ruling caste, against the Irish people, have been far graver more studied, and more systematic than the offences committed by the people (oftentimes by starving peasants in defence of their last scanty meals of potatoes) against the Uw.
