TAYLOR.-LOYOLA: AND JESUITISM IN ITS RUDIMENTS. BY ISAAC TAYLOR, Author of "Natural History of Enthusiasm," &c. Post 8vo. 10s. 6d. cloth. "Various books on individual Jesuits, or on the constitutions of their order, have lately appeared, but nothing at all ap proaching in interest or merit to Loyola: and Jesuitism in its Rudiments.... a book that must be carefully read by any one who wishes to form a true idea of Loyola, and an idea of Jesuitism."-SPECTATOR.

"Mr. Taylor has thrown together, with the powerful grasp of his mind, the principal events and circumstances which gave rise to the institution of the Jesuit order, and sketched out the character of its founder with a masterly hand. After all the trash that has been written on the subject of late, it is refreshing to turn over the pages of a work in which the subject is handled with the dignity and severity of truth which its importance and the character of history alike demand." JOHN BULL.

"We are glad to receive another volume of this edition of Bishop Thirlwall's History,' and are quite satisfied, on an inspection of its contents, at the delay which has occurred in its appearance. The work is one of which English scholarship may well be proud-uniting sound erudition with elegant taste, an intimate knowledge of the sources of Greek history, with a discriminating judgment, and a very felicitous style of composition. Having repeatedly expressed our opinion on its merits, we shall not now make any attempt at elaborate criticism.... We know of no classical history which, as a whole, is so entitled to approval and admiration. Bishop Thirlwall his evidently spared no pains to perfect the work, and he will have his reward in the permanent hold it must take on the public mind.... The present work is up to the requirements of the scholarship of the day. It is erudite without being dry, and liberal without scepticism. It bespeaks the learning of a scholar and the manners of a gentleman, and constitutes a record of the past, from which the student and the philosopher of our day may gain an instructive insight into the character and institutions of the Greeks." ECLECTIC REVIEW.
