[v. supra, Brosius. Catholic World, Nov., 1865 (translated from the Revue Contemporaine, Bruxelles), Very Rev. Thomas Hayden's Discourse, 1848. In February, 1866, Dr. Hayden delivered a Lecture on the Life of D. Gallitzin, at Birmingham, Penn.; but we think, to our great disappointment, it was not published. An interesting memoir of "The Pastor of the Alleghanies" will be found in the Biographical Annual, 1841, by the eloquent and classical pen of the late Charles Constantine Pise, D.D. The fourth volume of the Metropolitan, anno 1856, p. 201, May, contains a notice of that saintly missionary by my excellent friend and college-mate Richard H. Clarke, Esq., of the New York bar. The Cornhill Magazine contains an interesting memoir of Rev. D. Gallitzin's mother, copied into Littell's Living Age, Boston, December, 1871. At p. 44 of The Catholic Family Almanac, for 1872, New York, Cath. Pub. Society, we have a striking engraving representing the meeting of Rev. Fr. Lemcke, O.S.B., now of Elizabeth, N. J., with the Missionary Prince. The anxiety which is felt for the preservation of all that refers to American Catholic history will warrant the insertion here of the following words copied from the New York Freeman's Journal:

"Fr. Lemcke gathered all he could get hold of here of Prince Gallitzin's missionary life in America, and was perfectly posted on the early history of Prince D. Gallitzin in Europe. He published in Munster, if we recollect aright what was told us, a most interesting and connected history of this hero of the Cross."

Notice of "A Memoir on the Life and Character of the Rev. Prince Demetrius A. de Gallitzin, Founder of Loretto and Catholicity in Cambria Co., Pa., Apostle of the Alleghanies. By V. R. Thomas Heyden, of Bedford, Pa. Baltimore: J. Murphy & Co. 1869."

Rev. Mr. Gallitzin's name will recur in the second part of the Bibliographia.]

GANDOLPHY, P.-Sermons on the Ancient Faith. Advertised by Dornin, 1815, for imminent publication, in last page of Poor Man's Catechism. I doubt whether they were published.

[Peter Gandolphy, an English priest, was educated at Stonyhurst, and died at Eastsheen, England, July 9, 1821, aged 41. He wrote polemics on the limits of temporal authority in matters. concerning church discipline. The V. A. of London put a censure on his work, but G. appealed to Rome, where he personally defended his position. In the library of the Archbishop of Baltimore I found "A Series of Letters addressed to the Protestant Community on the Secret Causes of the Increase of Catholics ; Intended to Counteract and Expose the Gross and Calumnious Misrepresentations of Catholics and their Doctrine. By a Catholic Priest. Redimentes opportunitatem quoniam dies mali sunt.'-Eph. 5th chap. 18th ver. New York: Reprinted from the London copy. James Bloomfield, printer, 1826, pp. 108, 12mo." Page 2 states that "The following pages are offered to the American public as the production of one of the most eminent and valuable of men. .. New York, Sept. 16, 1826." The italics are underlined by Abp. A. Marechal, who adds: "This Rev. Gandolphy was condemned by the See; they say he died penitent." Allibone gives a list of his works; so does De Feller; but two of his works were put on the Index, July 27, 1828-1st,

that advertised by Dornin; 2d, An Exposition of Liturgy. . Una cum testificatione seu Epistola quadam alterius auctoris (qui tamen eandem epistolam laudabiliter retractavit) sive conjunctim sive seorsim impressa, quæ incipit Omnibus et Singulis Anglice et Latine scripta, et Romæ data 13 Nov., 1816, in qua temere et falso asseritur dicta opera amplam approbationem a Sede Apostolica obtinuisse. Since writing the above, I have met with the work announced by Dornin: A Defence of the Ancient Faith; or, A Full Exposition of the Christian Religion, in a Series of Controversial Sermons. 4 vols., 8vo. London. 1813.]

GARDEN of the Soul. v. Challoner.

["Coyne, on his way to London, paid Dr. Milner a visit at Wolverhampton, and in the morning the Bishop said: 'Now, Mr. Coyne, I am going to say Mass; you need not come down to the chapel.' And, opening a door in the wall, he said: Here is a little tribune opening on the chapel where I say my prayers.' Coyne found on the Bishop's kneeling-place a Following of Christ, a Think Well On't, and a Garden of the Soul, all worn and blackened with the Bishop's thumbs. When Dr. Doyle heard this, a tear burst into his eyes, and he exclaimed, 'That gives me a greater idea of Dr. Milner than his End of Controversy and all he has written-that he should constantly nourish his soul with those simple, but solid manuals of the people."-From a letter of Dr. Ullathorne to Mr. Fitzpatrick, reported in his Life of Bishop Doyle, vol. ii. p. 14, Boston, P. Donahoe, 1864.]

GASS, PATRICK.-A Journal of the Voyages. and Travels of a Corps of Discovery, under the Command of Capt. Lewis and Capt. Clarke, of the

Army of the United States, from the mouth of the river Missouri through the interior parts of North America to the Pacific Ocean, during the years 1804, 1805, and 1806. Containing an authentic relation of the most interesting transactions during the expedition, a description of the country, and an account of its inhabitants, soil, climate, curiosities, and vegetable and animal productions. By Patrick Gass, one of the persons employed in the expedition. With Geographical and Explanatory Notes by the publisher. (Copy-right secured according to Law.) Pittsburgh: Printed by Zadoc Cramer, for David McKeehan, Publisher and Proprietor. 1807.

Same types and paging as above.. At p. iii., "Preface by the publisher of the First Edition." Although the publisher is David McKeehan, who also entered the title in the Clerk's Office (District of Pennsylvania), April 11, 1807, yet the preface reads like the style of M. Carey. It contains two engravings, curiosities of the art.

[The larger work by Lewis & Clarke has gone through many editions, both in England and America. I have more than a dozen titles in my list. Gass was the first narrator. It seems he put his crude and uncouth MS. in Mr. Carey's hands, who licked it into some shape. However, Gass had the honor of a French translation:

B. Jardien. A Paris: Arthus-Bertrand. 1810." 12mo, pp. 443. F. I think I have seen a Dutch translation of it. Mathew Carey published a fourth edition, Philadelphia, 1812.]

GASTON, WILLIAM.-Speech of the Hon. W. G., of North Carolina, on the Bill to authorize a Loan of $25,000,000, delivered in the House of Representatives of the U. S., February, 1814. Washington City: Printed at the office of the Senator. pp. 53. I 2mo.

He was the first student who entered his name in the rolls of Georgetown College" (corresp. Baltimore Mirror, Jan. 11, '68); graduated in Princeton, N. J., in 1796; U. S. Senator in 1813. Although laboring under Catholic disabilities, he became Judge of the Supreme Court, and with him the clause in the Constitution of N. C. against Catholics became a deadletter.
