THE NUN OF KENMARE

"THE NUN OF KENMARE."

This is the title of a new book published by Ticknor & Co., and for sale by the publisher of the Converted Catholic, which is attracting a great deal of attention. It is an autobiography, by Miss M. Frances Clare Cusack, late Mother-General of the Sisters of Peace. She left the Church of England thirty years ago, and joined the Catholic Church, in which she has been noted for her charitable work, both in Ireland and in America. Her autobiography, however, is little more than a record of the jealousies and rivalries that exist among the prelates of the Roman Catholic Church, and of the petty meannesses and frauds to which they resort against any work which they cannot run to their own personal interest. As Miss Cusack is still a Catholic, and her book is really an appeal to the Pope, her statements will carry more weight than they would if she had left that church.
