STANDARD CATHOLIC BOOKS. AMERICAN CATHOLIC NOVEL. PAULINE SEWARD, A TALE OF REAL LIFE. By John D. Bryant, Esq. 2 vols. 12mo. embossed cloth, gilt 1 50 The same.... ......embossed cloth, gilt edges 2 00 This work unites in an eminent degree pleasing incidents with useful instruction. Through a story well con. ceived and ably sustained, the author has infused the teachings of the Catholic church in a manner eminently calculated to correct the errors and prejudices with which her adversaries would obscure her practices and doctrines. In Pauline and Little Marie, the reader will become at once deeply interested; and in following them through their many bitter trials, he will be made familiar with the consistency and strength of Catholic doginas, and the beauty and consolation of Catholic devotions. The author of this work is a convert to Catholicity; and knowing, from his past experience and associations, what are the principal difficulties with Protestants in relation to our religion, he has sought to apply the instructive portions of his work to their explanation and removal. In this he has not been less happy than in the story itself. The work has only to be read to be admired-and no Catholic should be without a copy. "No branch of Catholic literature has been so little attended to as that of which the present work is destined to form one of the brightest gems. It is written in the most chaste and beautiful style. The interest thrown around the tale is singularly happy and intense."-Cath. Herald. If not the brightest gem in the Catholic literature of this country, the story of Pauline Seward is certainly unsurpassed by any effort of the kind heretofore made on this side of the Atlantic. The reader will find the work full of attraction and interest, abounding with thrilling incidents, affecting details and delicate shading. As a work of fiction, it is unexceptionable; its Catholic characters, presenting beautiful models for imitation, and brilliant beacon lights to warn us from error. In its elucidations of divine truth, it is clear, forcible, and impressive. There is, in fact, a happy blending of useful instruction and romantic incident, highly creditable to the skill and ingenuity of the author."-U. S. C. Mag. WISEMAN'S LECTURES on the PRINCIPAL DOCTRINES AND PRACTICES OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. Delivered at St. Mary's, Moorfields, during the Lent of 1836. Full bound............................................ ...sheep or cloth 100 These Lectures form a series of discourses, admirably adapted to the present state of controversy between the Catholic church and the various sects of Protestantism. The main points which it involves are developed and settled by Dr. Wiseman with a force of reasoning, a felicity of illustration, and a conciliatory spirit, which are unsurpassed, if equalled in any other English work of a similar character. THE BIBLE QUESTION FAIRLY TESTED, in the We have here collected into one volume three of the most useful essays that could be consulted with a view to discover the leading and specific differences between the Catholic and Protestant systems, and the respective grounds on which they are established. The abuse of the written word of God, and the want of acquaintance with the rational mode of applying it to the ends of religion, are the radical causes of Protestant hostility to the Catholic church; and under these circumstances the volume before us recommends itself with peculiar force to the patronage of the community at large: to the Protestant, who is bound to hear before he condemns, and to the Catholic who should be prepared at all times with the necessary armor for the defence of his principles. Among the works which treat of the proper use of the Bible, of the necessity of a living witness in matters of faith, and of the sad consequences of private judgment, this holds a conspicuous rank, not merely on account of the eminent worth of its contents, but also by its very convenient form, and moderate price, which place it within the reach of every class of readers. PASTORAL LETTERS of the PROVINCIAL COUN The merits of this standard work are so well known in the Catholic community, as worthy of the eminent sanctity of its author, and as a vast source of edification to the pious reader, that any commendatory remarks would be superfluous. FATHER OSWALD, a Genuine Catholic Story. A new out. THE LIFE OF ST. PATRICK, APOSTLE OF IRELAND. To which is added the celebrated Hymn, composed about twelve hundred years since by his disciple, ST. FIECH, comprehending a Compendious History of his Life. To which is annexed a copious Appendix, containing a summary account of the various ecclesiastical institutions, orders, edifices and establishments in Ireland, since the introduction of the Christian Religion. Also, a Chronological Table of the Archbishops of Armagh, Dublin, Cashel, and Tuam, from the death of St. Patrick to the beginning of the 19th century. Together with the prophecy of St. Malachy, describing the Popes of Roine to the end of the world.

It has been in the hands of the Christian world upwards of three centuries; it has been translated into almost all languages; it has received the unqualified approbation of every learned and pious ornament of the church. But in the present edition, Practical Reflections and a Prayer have been introduced at the end of each chapter, distinguished from the original by being printed in smaller type; and it is hoped they will be considered by the pious reader as a valuable addition to the original work. In preparing the present edition for the press, no pains have been spared to render it in every way worthy of patronage. The text was carefully examined by a Rev. gentleman, eminently qualified. The printing and binding are in a style of neatness corresponding with the present highly improved state of the art. The whole is comprised in a neat 48mo. volume of about 550 pages, and may justly be considered the neatest, cheapest and most convenient edition of this excellent work that has ever been issued from the press in this country. It is to be hoped, that these will be sufficient inducements for all to supply themselves with the work, pronounced by Fontanelle, the best that ever came from the pen of man, the Bible being of divine origin.

With a noble sublimity in its devotion, and an affecting unction in its piety, it unites a charming attraction in its style, and a beautiful simplicity in its details, equally adapted to every sex, age, state, or condition of life, interior or exterior. It should form an indispensable companion to all prayer books, whether in the retirement of the closet or the worship of the church. PRIMACY OF THE APOSTOLIC SEE VINDICATED.
