The first two volumes of the Friar Saints Series now published will be followed at short intervals by four more Lives, two at a time, Dominican and Franciscan together. Should the first six Lives prove successful they will be followed by a second set of six. The order of publication will probably be as follows:--

BEDE JARRETT, O.P. (5) St. Raymond of Pennafort. By Fr. THOMAS SCHWERTNER, O.P (6) St. Louis Bertrand. By the Rev. Mother MARY REGINALD, Franciscan . (1) St. Bonaventure. By Fr. LAURENCE COSTELLOE. O.F.M. (2) St. Antony of Padua. By C. M. ANTONY. (3) St. John Capistran. By Fr. VINCENT FITZGERALD, O.F.M. (4) St. Bernardine of Siena. By Miss M. WARD. (5) St. Leonard of Port-Maurice. By Fr. ALEXANDER MURPHY, O.F.M. (6) St. Peter of Alcantara. By Fr. EOBERT CARROL, O.F.M. O.S.D.
The Friar Saints Series, which has received the warm approval of the authorities of both Orders in England, Ireland, and America, is earnestly recommended to Tertiaries, and to the Catholic public generally.
The Master-General of the Dominicans at Rome, sending his blessing to the writers and readers of the Friar Saints Series, says: The Lives should teach their readers not only to know the Saints, but also to imitate them .
