THE LIFE OF CORNELL& CONNELLY. With a Preface by Cardinal

Gasquet. (Longmans. 21s. net.)

This anonymous biography of the foundress of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus is a well-merited tribute to a life spent entirely in self-sacrifice. The educational theories upon which Cornelia Connelly worked are described in the interesting chapters on her school at St. Leonards. These are well worth reading, for the principles framed by her arc as alive to-day as they were sixty years ago. Many of her vivid and intensely personal letters are printed and add an intimacy to this sympathetic biography.
