Carlow College Magazine, November, 1869, and February, 1870. Carlow: Fitzsimon.

L

AST November the Editor of this magazine inserted an article called Objectivism No. I."; which ended with saying, that the writer hoped to continue the subject in the next number. We inferred therefore that a sequel was to come, and waited accordingly; but the Editor explains in February that he is expecting our reply. We have therefore read carefully the article of November.

We gather therefrom, that the writer agrees substantially with our philosophical views; but he certainly still considers that his words of last May, on the subject of ontologism, do not legitimately bear the meaning which we gave them. Now it is most undesirable, that those who are in substantial agreement on doctrine, should dissipate their strength by mutual contention; and we will say therefore what little we have to say as uncontroversially as possible.

It amounts to this. There are one or two arguments adduced by him which do not convince us, and one or two propositions stated with which we cannot coincide. But on the whole we must admit, that the sentences to which we objected are capable of a different interpretation from that which we gave them; and we must express therefore our sincere regret for having assumed that they were intended in a sense, which the writer agrees with us in considering objectionable.

On the other hand we are glad that the writer has been led to explain one or two psssages which, as they stood, were open to misapprehension.

WE have received the sheets of Mr. Lewis's translation of S. Teresa's autobiography; but too late for notice this quarter. The work itself however is so incomparable, and Mr. Lewis's rare faithfulness and felicity as a translator are known so well, that no words of ours can be necessary to make the volume eagerly looked for.

WE are very glad to find the "Atlantis" again published by the Catholic University of Ireland: and we observe that F. Newman has testified his continued interest in the periodical, by contributing a paper. The number reached us too late to give us opportunity for criticism this quarter, but we will not fail to notice it in our next number.

F. BOTTALLA's long expected volume on Pontifical infallibility will appear very soon after our own publication; and he has most kindly forwarded us the proof-sheets up to p. 320. All this part of the volume is occupied with the "subject" of infallibility. Amidst the distractions of bringing out our number we have as yet had time for no more than a most hasty glance at it ; but we have no hesitation in saying that it is beyond comparison the most complete treatise on the subject which has yet appeared in these islands. We hope to give it a most careful review in our next number.

We have to express great regret for an unfortunate mischance which has prevented us from giving a notice this quarter of F. Gasparini's "Attributes of Christ." We trust we shall without fail give a full account of the excellent volume in our next number.
