From the Memoir of Henry Kenelm pigby," by Bernard Holland (Longmans), we quote a pathetic instance of a father's domestic trouble following on. his own change of religion: In his first year at Kensington he endured a new and bitter loss. Marcella, his eldest daughter, was of all his children nearest to himself in mind, tastes, and interests. He had given her a strong education. She had learned, with her brothers, Latin and Greek from their tutor, a Cambridge convert and a fine scholar, and she had read much history and literature for her ege. She loved the outdoor life, and especially riding, and was rather fond, too, of dress and jewels. But the sudden deaths, in 1856, of her youngest and her eldest brother had a tremen- dous effect upon this girl of nineteen.

Kenelm Digby was not I the first, nor will be the last, father who has I entered the Catholic Church, and has then seen his children go beyond him in devotion.
