We have received a third edition of the Oscottian (Burns

and Oates), containing a memoir of Bishop Ullathorne. It ie useless to object to the practice of publishing memoirs of the living. What with "Men of the Times," "At Homes," and the like, it has become universal. If such notices are a distinction, Bishop Ullathorne is as worthy as any man to receive it. To the Roman Catholic com- munion in England he is especially interesting as its most eminent native member.
