For those who watch the more subtle and significant move-
ments of religious thought, Miss Maude Petre's study of the Abbe Bremond's recent speculations will be the outstanding feature of the current Dublin Review (Burns, Oates and Washbourne, 7s. 6d.). Perhaps, however, the most useful office this essay will perform will be to stimulate first-hand study of the documents on which it is based ; for these greatly exceed in depth and fineness of discrimination the account given of them here. The most permanently valuable of the articles in this number is probably Mr. W. E. Campbell's beautiful study of More's " Utopia " ; the work of a scholar in deep spiritual sympathy with his subject. Mr. Butler in " Catholicism and the Mystery Cults " criticizes the extrava- gant claims of the historical method in the field of religious origins, and suggests the true relation of history to faith.
