The Life of Sister Jeanne Benigne Gojos. By Mother Marie

Gil- trade Provane de Leyni. (Burns and Oates.)—A very curious speci- men of devotional writing, out of which we could, were we so minded, make extracts that would surprise most of our readers. It is really strange to find that there is an English public which enjoys this kind of sentiment, but there is much in the book that is really good. Sister Jeanne seems to have been a very kind-hearted woman, and to have had in some respects very liberal ways of thinking.
