The "saint" is an old monk who lives with only two others in one ofthose old monasteries in Italy which, since the government decree, havegradually fallen into disuse. It is a beautiful little story, in whichwe are taught the lesson of Christ's manner of dealing with those whoare tempted and go astray, and are brought back into the rightpath.--_Boston Times._
M. Bourget is a master of literary art; his portraits are drawn with awonderful distinctness, and with a realism that is as true to thepossibilities of human nature as it is fascinating.--_Boston HomeJournal._
