Maurin, M. J. Pauline Marie Jaricot, foundress of the order for the propagation of the faith and the living rosary; tr. from the French by E. Sheppard. *$1.35. Benziger.
“A biography based on that of Mlle. Maurin, a friend of Mlle. Jaricot in her later years.... The life of one of those women who recall, in a less conspicuous way, St. Catherine of Siena.... The daughter of a wealthy bourgeois of Lyons, she was just one of those ladies who, devoting themselves at an early age to religion, spend their lives in the quiet practice of good works.... She died in obscurity, and to most people this biography will be the first revelation that she ever existed.”—Ath.
“The style of the book, we may add, is for the most part plain and simple, without dryness, as religious biography should be, and the English rendering is idiomatic and good.”

“[The author’s] devoted zeal for the honor of his pious heroine manifests itself in the frankness and enthusiasm which enhance the intrinsic interest possessed by the story of this remarkable life.”

A volume which “embodies the results of Professor Maxey’s many years’ experience as a teacher.... In treatment the emphasis is thrown upon peace and neutrality rather than upon war. The questions arising out of the recent Russo-Japanese war are discussed freely and impartially. There is also a very complete chapter on contraband.”—R. of Rs.
