"Mr. Foley has at last brought his gigantic labours to a

close... He has collected such a mass of curious and really valuable information as it is granted to very few students to gather by the researches of a lifetime. He has added materially to those recondite sources of authentic family history which are for the most part buried in private archives and guarded with superstitious exclusiveness from the vulgar gaze. He has drawn back the veil which for centuries had covered the working of the Jesuits in England, and which, while it was allowed to hide the doings of the fathers from the gaze of the profane, invested them with a glamour of awe and terror such as no secret

society of past or present times has succeeded in throwing round its proceedings."-Ath., No. 2912.
