;

From a small pamphlet, entitled the "Art of making Money," an extract has been taken, and is going the round of the provincial press, pointing out the facility of making immense sums by the simple process of continuous advertising. Doubtless large sums have been, are, and will be made by such a system by certain persons of ability, who no doubt would make their way in the world if called upon to play different parts on the great stage of life; but to suppose that men in general must as a matter of course acquire wealth by such means, is as absurd as to imagine that all the penniless and shoeless of London are capable of rising to the dignity and wealth of an alderman or the lord mayor of London simply by reading the "Young Man's Best Companion." Money is not so easily made as the writer of the article referred to would lead people to suppose; if it be so, few need be poor. But to our text: fortunes made by advertising. Uudoubtedly the greatest man of the day as an advertiser is Holloway, who expends the enormous sum of twenty thousand pounds annually in advertisements alone his name is not only to be seen in nearly every paper and periodical published in the British Isles, but as if this country was too small for this individual's exploits, he stretches over the whole of India, having agents in all the different parts of the upper, central, and lower provinces of that immense country, publishing his medicaments in the Hindoo, Oordoo, Goozratee, Persian, and other native languages, so that the Indian public can take the Pills and use his Ointment, according to general directions, as a Cockney would do within the sound of Bow bells. We find him again at Hong Kong and Canton, making his medicines known to the Celestials, by means of Chinese translation. We trace him from thence to the Philippine Islands, where he is circulating his preparations in the native languages. At Singapore he has a large depôt his agents there supply all the islands in the Indian Seas. His advertisements are published in most of the papers at Sydney, Hobart Town, Launceston, Adelaide, Port Philip, and indeed in almost every town of that vast portion of the British empire. Returning homewards, we find his Pills and Ointment selling at Valparaiso, Lima, Callao, and other ports in the Pacific. Doubling the Horn, we track him in the Atlantic-at Monte Video, Buenos Ayres, Santos, Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, and Pernambuco; he is advertising in those parts in Spanish and Portuguese. In all the British West India Islands, as also in the Upper and Lower Canadas, and the neighbouring provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, his medicines are as familiarly known, and sold by every druggist as they are at home. In the Mediterranean we find them selling at Malta, Corfu, Athens, and Alexandria, besides at Tunis and other portions of the Barbary States. Any one taking the trouble to look at the "Journal" and "Courier" of Constantinople, may find in these, as well as other papers, that Holloway's medicines are regularly advertised and selling throughout the Turkish empire; and even in Russia, where an almost insurmountable

barrier exists, the laws there prohibiting the entrêe of patent medicines, Holloway's ingenuity has been at work, and obviates this difficulty by forwarding supplies to his Agent at Odessa, a port situated on the Black Sea, where they filter themselves surreptitiously by various channels into the very heart of the empire. Africa has not been forgotten by this indefatigable man, who has an agent on the river Gambia; also at Sierra Leone, the plague spot of the world, the inhabitants readily avail themselves of the Ointment and pills; thus we can show our readers that Holloway has made the complete circuit of the globe, commencing with India and ending, as we now do, with the Cape of Good Hope, where his medicines are published in the Dutch and English languages; and while speaking of Dutch, we have heard that he has made large shipments to Holland, and is about advertising in every paper or periodical published in that kingdom: we might add that he has also started his medicines in some parts of France in some portions of Germany as also in some of the Italian states. : We have been at

some little trouble to collect all these facts, because we fear that the article before alluded to, "the Art of making money," is calculated to lead people to spend their means in the hope (as the author states) of making a hundred thousand pounds in six years for his pains, by holding up as an easy example to follow such a man as Holloway, who is really a Napoleon in his way. Many may have the means, but have they the knowledge, ability, energy, judgment, and prudence necessary? Failing in any one of these requisites, a total loss is certain. Holloway is a man calculated to undertake any enterprise requiring immense energies of body and mind. No doubt he has been well repaid for all his labours; and is, we should suppose, in a fair way of making a large fortune. Of course it is not to our interest to deter the public from advertising; but, as guardians of their interest, we think it our incumbent duty to place a lighthouse upon what we consider a dangerous shoal, which may perhaps sooner or later prevent shipwreck and ruin to the sanguine and inexperienced about to navigate in such waters.

The Editor of the "Edinburgh Review," in a number published about three years ago, stated, that he considered he was making a desirable bequest to posterity, by handing down to them the amount of talent and ability required by the present class of large advertisers. At that period, Holloway's mode of advertising was most prominently set forth : and if these remarks, conjointly with his, should descend to a generation to come, it will be known to what extent the subject of this article was able to carry out his views, together with the consequent expenditure in making known the merits of his preparations to nearly the whole world.-Pictorial Times.

E

We have never in our memory read a controversial work

on the anti-catholic side, which has so much pleased us in its general temper and spirit as Mr. Allies's volume; and we rejoice to observe that it has been met by Mr. Thompson with a kindred feeling. "The tone and style in which Mr. Allies writes," observes his opponent, "are not only every way superior to that of ordinary controversialists, but VOL. XXII.—NO. XLIV.

worthy of the admiration of all serious and earnest men. The candour, honesty, and generosity, which he so remarkably displays, must command the respect and sympathy of his readers, especially of those [i. e. the recent converts] of whom he has spoken with so much equity and kindness. (p. 15.) "I have seen the eyes of Catholics glistening with pleasure and hopeful interest at the reading of " a certain earnest expression of feeling on Mr. Allies's part. (p. 180.) Mr. Renouf also, though only having seen an extract from the work, expresses himself with great personal respect towards the writer. It is truly delightful to find that the heartless and most shallow criticism to which Catholics have so constantly been subject, has in no way made them insensible to real generosity and an open-hearted search for truth, when such qualities are brought before them. And we are the more anxious ourselves to express our sympathy with the moral aspect of Mr. Allies's work, because (to say truth) we have the meanest possible opinion of its intellectual.

Mr. Thompson's work contains a careful and accurate statement of principles; and also an application of them well and thoroughly worked out, to the purpose he has had in view: that purpose being twofold, viz. an interpretation of those particular facts or general features in church history on which Mr. Allies rests his attack on Catholics, and an exposure both of the baselessness and the inconsistency of that gentleman's positive doctrinal statements. Mr. Renouf's pamphlet, on the other hand, has no pretensions to be considered an answer to the work in question, which the author, indeed, had no means of seeing as a whole; it is an effective and complete refutation of an episodical argument, introduced by Mr. Allies into his earnest and eloquent peroration-an argument, however, which, although but subordinate to Mr. Allies's general train of reasoning, is yet, as Mr. Renouf truly remarks, "more likely than any other part of it to weigh with some minds in retaining them within the communion of the Church of England.' Mr. Renouf, in short, has produced a very able, popular, and effective pamphlet, peculiarly seasonable and peculiarly valuable at the present time: but Mr. Thompson's treatise is still more than this; it is a permanent addition to theological literature, and it will exceedingly well repay, what is requisite indeed for its due apprehension and appreciation, a careful and attentive study.

Of the three other works named at the outset, we have thought it advisable to mention Mr. Landon's translation of Pereira's" Tentativa," because it has been published in direct connection with Mr. Allies's treatise and on a precisely similar subject, and also because one or two particulars of its history are amusingly significant; but we have been quite unable to find in it any argument beyond the thrice-repeated common-place of the old Gallican controversy, such as Mr. Allies also has put together. Mr. Lewis' pamphlet is only connected with the preceding productions by the rule of contraries; seeing he has carried the war into the enemy's country, and instead of defending the Roman Supremacy, has mainly occupied himself with exposing the real nature of that which the Anglican Church has endured in its place. He has stated indeed, in his Introduction, with great calmness and force, the position held by the Catholic Church in relation to other religious communities; but the body of his work is composed of quite an invaluable collection of extracts from Anglican authoritative documents, illustrating the real nature of the ecclesiastical proceedings which have taken place in that unhappy body since its separation from Catholic unity. The little work which stands last on the list, explains its own object by its title; and is remarkable for its particularly clear and popular way of stating arguments, in themselves most solid and cogent.

Of the work, then, which has given occasion to the present controversy, we are unable to speak highly, in respect either of depth or comprehensiveness of view; and when we speak of Mr. Thompson's service in answering its allegations, it is not because Mr. Allies's conclusions are in any way formidable, but because the facts which he has brought together might be used by a deeper thinker than himself, and pressed into the service of a cause which Mr. Allies abhors as cordially as we abhor it. At the same time, utterly untenable though we consider Mr. Allies's position, it is one for which, in one respect, we feel the sincerest sympathy, and in behalf of which we are willing to make the utmost allowance. He is not one of those who refuse to admit that holiness is holiness or unity is unity, for fear such an admission should charm them from their insular and exclusive sympathies. He opens his eyes to see, and his heart to admire, what is beautiful and attractive in the Roman Church; he gladly recognizes the marks she bears
