LIFE OF POPE LEO XIII. From an Authentic Memoir furnished by His Order. BY BERNARD O'REILLY, D. D., L. D. (LAVAL.) Written with the Encouragement, Approbation, and Blessing of His Holiness the Pope. In One Volume, Royal Oc- tavo, of about 600 Pages. Two Colored Plates, Two Steel-Plates, and Twenty-two other Full-Page Illustra- tions. Published simultaneously in Six Languages. Commended by Cardinal Lucido Maria Parocchi, Vicar of His Holiness, Leo XIII. ; His Eminence, John Cardi- nal Simeoni, Prefect of the Propaganda; His Eminence, James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore; His Grace, the most Rev. M. A. Corrigan, Archbishop of New York. This book appeals in a peculiar manner to Catholic hearts throughout the world, coming, as it does, with the approba- tion, encouragement, and blessing of the Holy Father, and written from an authentic memoir furnished by his order. It is of no less interest to the general reader. Emanating from the high authority and with the approval of the Pope, it can but echo the sentiments of the Vatican on the leading topics of religious thought, and the vital social questions which are agitating the whole world at the present time. The life of such a man is necessarily invested with commanding interest for every student of contemporary history, and light upon it will be welcomed as eagerly by those who see in him only a prime political and social factor as by those who hold his office in veneration. New York Sun. The Life of Pope Leo XIII. is in every respect a publication of striking interest as well as of profound significance. New York Herald. A memorable contribution to contemporary literature, the faithful history of a great scholar, a great diplomat, a great prelate. New York Journal. The volume is of surpassing interest. San Francisco Bulletin. To look at, it is a handsome volume; to examine it carefully, it has been brought out with all the care that experienced publishers know how to bestow; to read it, it is full of the most delightful, most interesting information; and to study it critically, it is the result of a profound knowledge of the times we live in, and of the past from which the present has sprung. Catholic Standard, Philadelphia. The choice of the Rev. Dr. O'Reilly was a happy one. A brilliant style, a high degree of literary ability, artistic taste, thorough knowledge of the world, an imagination that relieves all he writes from, any suspicion of dullness, fitted him eminently for the work as- signed him.
