Christian Era. Of the sixty-two folio volumes of this gigantic collection, nine were published since 1845.[1]
As writers on Ethics we mention Father Castelein and Father Cathrein[2]; on philosophy the English Jesuits Clarke, Rickaby, Maher (Stonyhurst Series). Father Maher's Psychology recently received the note "Special Excellence" by the University of London, and the author, the degree of "Doctor of Literature". And this in spite of the fact that the book contains a very energetic criticism of the works most favored by the University, including, indeed, the writings of both the examiners themselves. We could add scores of distinguished writers on theology, but we wish to confine ourselves to publications which have favorably appealed to Protestants. In 1900 the Society conducted more than one hundred periodicals. Although a great number of them are chiefly religious magazines (as the ably written Messenger, New York), there are also several scientific periodicals. Some reviews, as the Month in England, the Études religieuses in France, the Civiltà Cattolica in Italy, the Stimmen aus Maria-Laach (with valuable scientific supplements), the Theologische Zeitschrift (Innsbruck), the Razón y Fe in Spain, the Analecta Bollandiana in Belgium, are representative literary and scientific periodicals.
A splendid tribute was paid, in January 1902, to the scientific activity of the German Jesuits. Deputy
