Single Copy With this issue, which concludes Vol. III, THE NEW YORK REVIEW ceases publication. At its inception three years ago its editors promised to present the best work of Catholic scholars at home and abroad on theological and other problems of the present day. It is the keeping of that promise, not the breaking of it, that is the cause of the suspension of the REVIEW. For the number of Catholics interested in questions which are of importance to the thinkers of the present generation—and which will be vital to all classes in the next—has been found to be so small that it does not justify the continuance of the REVIEW. It would be possible perhaps to treat the same topics in a more popular style, but the editors are strongly of opinion that new and difficult problems should be discussed in a way that will attract the attention of only trained and scholarly minds. Or the scope of the REVIEW might be changed, but this would bring it into needless competition with other Catholic periodicals which are doing excellent work in their chosen departments. A newspaper report which has obtained wide circulation renders it necessary in justice to our ecclesiastical superiors and to ourselves to make a further statement. Neither THE NEW YORK REVIEW nor any issue of it, nor any article published in it has ever been made the object of official condemnation or censure by any authority, local or general, in the Cowlic Church. It is now suspending publication, not by command of authority, but by the decision of its editors and for the reasons set down. It only remains to return sincere thanks to the subscribers who have given their loyal support to the enterprise; and especially to the contributors, who have given of their best so generously with little or no recompense save the consciousness of doing their duty in the cause of religion and learning. |
