THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY ‘AND LIFE 
OF FATHER TYRRELL. 
By MAUD PETRE. 
In Two Volumes. Demy 8v0., cloth. 21s. net. 
The first volume, which is autobiographical, covers the period 
from George Tyrrell’s birth in 1861 to the year 1885, including an 
account of his family, hig childhood, schooldays, and youth in 
Dublin ; his conversion from Agnosticism, through a phase of High 
Church Protestantism to Catholicism; his experiences in Cyprus 
and Malta, where he lived as a probationer before entering the 
Society of Jesus; his early life as a Jesuit, with his novitiate and 
first studies in scholastic philosophy and Thomism. This autobiog- 
raphy, written in 1901, ends just before the death of his mother, 
and was not carried any farther. It is edited with notes and 
supplements to each chapter by M. D. Petre. 
The second volume, which takes up the story where the first ends, 
deals chiefly with the storm and stress period of his later years. 
Large use is made of his own notes, and of his letters, of which a 
great number have been lent by correspondents of all shades of 
thought. Various documents of importance figure in this later 
volume, in which the editor aims at making the history as complete 
and objective as possible. Incidentally some account is given of the 
general movement of thought, which has been loosely described as 
“ modernism,” but the chief aim of the writer will be to describe the 
part which Father Tyrrell himself played in this movement, and the 
successive stages of his mental development as he brought his 
scholastic training to bear on the modern problems that confronted 
him. The work ends with his death on July 15, 1909, and the 
events immediately subsequent to his death. 
THE DIARY OF A MODERNIST. 
By WILLIAM SCOTT PALMER, 
AuTHor oF ‘An Acnostic’s ProGress,’ ETC. 
Crown 8v0., cloth. 5s. net. 
Mr. Scott Palmer’s Diary is the attempt of a man of faith and 
intellect to bring modern thought to bear on the ancient doctrines of 
religion. His musings bear no resemblance to the essays at recon- 
ciliation with which the latter part of the last century was only too
