LETTER TO A REVEREND MEMBER OF THE CAMDEN SOCIETY

flowing among Romanists, and what are the fruits of Mariolatry. It is a good thing to write books, like Mr. Newman, about tbe miracles of the fourth century ; but it is a better still to acknowledge and expérience miracles in the nineteenth. Never, assuredly, were miracles more wanted than in thèse âges of light, and never I may say, were they more abundant ; for can there be a greater miracle in the world than the sudden and mysterious conversions of sinners in an âge like this?

May that Blessed Lady, who has been so long the object of the jeers and blasphemies of Anglican divines and Anglican travellers, and who seems now at last to inspire your countrymen with some degree of vénération — may she use her omnipotentia supplex to enlighten, to bless, and console you ! Such will be for ever the prayer of your obedient servant and sincère well-wisher,

Le comte de Montalembert.
