ment.

Apart from the pictured details of incidents in the life of the Saint, the engravings show many details of architecture, furniture, &c. The sale of the library for the benefit of the poor (plate 3), the St. Anthony scene (10), the casting out of evil spirits (24), and other important adventures, are very interesting.

after its appearance some person (evidently a personal enemy of the author and said to have been Prof. John Hoogh) published an acrimonious critique upon the book. Such was the effect of the article upon either Mr. Sanders or the publishers, that the work was suppressed. So nearly complete was its absolute extinction, that even the biographers of the author had forgotten the work, making no mention of it in their memoirs of him. Fine copy.
