A Catalogue of Franciscan Missionaries in Texas (1528-1859) . —By Rev. Edmond J. P. Schmitt , Fellow and Life Member of the Texas State Historical Association. Austin. MCMI. Pp. 16.

In these few pages are summed up the results of much patient research in the records of the missions which are preserved in the archives of the diocese of San Antonio, and of wide reading on subjects brought into notice by the lives of the frailes whose names are here gathered. The notes especially show indefatigable industry and scholarship. This was the last work of Father Schmitt, whose death occurred shortly after it came from the press. He was yet a very young man, and of great promise, and his death will be deeply regretted by students of Southwestern history.
