MOTHER MABEL DIGBY, 1835–1911, Superior General of the Society of the Sacred Heart. By ANNE POLLEN. With a Preface by Cardinal BOURNE. With Illustrations. Demy 8vo, 12s. net.
This is the history of a personality, striking to an unusual degree from the force of her character, the sanctity of her life, and her astonishing power of organisation and control. Her career was remarkable from the beginning. The biography should attract an attention not confined to the co-religionists of the subject.

VOL. I.—“It will at once take rank as one of the very best works on the subject.”—Guardian.
VOL. II.—“It is a pleasure to welcome this readable translation of the second instalment of M. Duchesne’s elaborate and discerning study of the ecclesiastical embodiments of early Christianity. Based on first-hand use of the sources, and marked by force of style as well as independence of view, such a history makes its own place with the many others that have been written; the translation offers attractive inducement to the English reader.”—Literary World.
A third Volume, continuing the Work, will be published in due course.
