[No. 141. 



coBtroversial nature, we have been so interested in a 

 little volume which has recently come before us that 

 we cannot refrain from bringing it under the notice of 

 our readers ; it is entitled Sumpatnies of the Continent, 

 or Proposals for a New Reformation, by John Baptist 

 von Hirscher, D.D., Dean 'of the Metropolitan Church 

 of Frvihvrg, Breisgau, and Professor of Tlteiilogy in the 

 Reman Catholic University in that city ; Translated and 

 Edited with Notes and Introduction by the Rev, Arthur 

 Cleveland Coxe. The great interest of this work, 

 which might more properly have been called The 

 Working of the Roman Catholic Church in Germany, is 

 to be found in the fact that it is written by a learned 

 and eminent dignitary of that Church, and advocates 

 those practical retl)rms in her system which our own 

 Church introduced three centuries since.

 son, " liave a foolish way of not minding, or pretending 

 not to mind, what they eat." This foolish way is not 

 ours, and therefore we have enjoyed to the full the 

 pleasant humour and anecdotical learning enshrined in 

 the last number of Murray's Railway Library, The 

 Art of Dining, or Gastronomy and Gastronomers, with 

 itsrhints and directions as to ensuring a successful din- 

 ner party, is so full of its subjects that it would gj far 

 to create an appetite imder the ribs of death. — A De-

 venerable author (tlie Rev. C. Wellbeloved) when be

 excellent Guide to the York Museum is as cre(litai)le 

 to its compiler as it will be found of service to the 

 visitors of the interesting collection which it describes.
