to Cupid , ' * somewhat after the style of " How to be Happy though Married , " is written for the " engaged " in a liht and happy vein and
g in a high tone . ' The critic , thus finding his occupation gone , might only hope that the ' engaged ' will buy the book and profit by its
light and happy vein and its high tone ; but we should like to add on our own account that , although the book contains almost as many
platitudes as its prototype , it is lively and entertaining , and gives information and hints that must prove interesting to the happy

of his labours are presented in , a compact , well arranged , and well written volume . He writes , as might be expectedin a strain of reverent
admiration , and justly , claims a leading place if not the leading place among the world's ' thinkers in the domain of theology o «/ to St .

special class , , and to that olass it may be recommended . Nor should it be forgotten that virile soul !\\ StThomas is well worth the \
