Excerpt from The Aletheia of Rev. Charles Constantine Pise, D.D Catholic Expositor published a volume of poems, did many of the Breviary hymns into English, com piled a History of the Church, wrote several popular religious tales, among which we may mention Father Oswald, translated the Soirees of De Maistre, and was the pioneer of Catholic literature in this country. He was one of the number selected by Bishop Fitzpatrick of Boston, in 1847, to lecture in that city during the times when anti catholic feeling ran so high. In this work he had as associates Dr. Brownson, Father Larkin, S. J Rev. Dr. Manahan, and Rev. Dr. Cummings. In 1858, at the celebration of the Golden Jubilee of Mount St. Mary's, he was selected as one of the poets for the occasion.
