LARZELIERE [?], I.—[A Catholic Priest at Mount Holly, near Philadelphia, about A.D. 1800-said to have published something. My inquiries from a Rev. official in Phila. resulted in the information that "no records go back as far as 1800. Mount Holly was in the Diocese of Philadelphia." v. Houdet, p. 174.]

O THELOS!

And now I lay down my pen. The rack on which my mind has been since I issued the circular (July 31, 1871!) can be imagined only by inspecting the heap of letters received—some encouraging, others discouraging-some even charging me with treading on the corns of the writers who "had intended," and actually "planned," aye,-had "collected materials," etc., etc.

I PARVE LIBER.

PLEASE, kind readers, brothers, bookworms, and all of that ilk, send me corrections, and castigations, that I may publish them all (with proper acknowledgments) in the Second Part, so continuously paged in Arabic numbers as to make them of easy binding with this volume.

The Lord help us! but by-and-by we shall yet get a (sublunary) perfect Bibliography that will stand a monument to the fact that no other converted nation can exhibit such a noble record of earnest endeavors to publish works calculated to create a healthy Christian spirit. The Catholic literature in the United States previous to 1820, scanty as it may appear, must be allowed to have been in advance of the money-making, sickly, riding-onboth-sides-of-the-fence efforts of more recent dates. Mathew Carey was wrong in publishing all kinds of works—albeit, there are allowances to be made in his favor; and it would be unjust to look upon him as the prototype of wishy-washy modern Catholic publishers or book-sellers. Bernard Dornin was the prototype of the true and honest Catholic publisher. Had Dornin lived hisce temporibus, he'd die of starvation-he was too honest. The reader is at perfect liberty to agree or not to agree with these remarks. Yet

"To be or not to be; that's the question,"

FINIS CORONAT OPUS !
