Excerpt from Brownson's Quarterly Review, Vol. 3 M.-gratry has here attempted a work of the highest importance, and much needed to meet the moral and intel lectual wants of 'our times. NO higher subject 'than God can occupy our thoughts, and no knowledge can compare, in dignity, interest, and value, with the knowledge of God. Indeed, as without God there is nothing, for all things are by him, in him, and for him, 'so without knowledge of him there is no knowledge at all. He who knows not God knows nothing, and hence the deep si nificance of the Holy Scripture which calls him a fool w o denies God, Diwit insipiens in cards suo, non est Deus. The highest wisdom is to know God, and the supreme good is to now and love him. The greatest service, therefore, which can be rendered to genuine science and to mankind, is to fur nish solid instruction as to the means and conditions of the knowled e and love of God, and to stimulate men to seek him as t e first good and the first fair.
