The firm of Messrs. Louis Gille and Co., Sydney, was honoured recently by a visit from his Eminence Cardinal Moran, who takes a keen interest in the spread of good wholesome Catholic literature, and had the kindness to call specially to inspect, and inaugurate the opening of the new Book Department recently fitted up at great cost by this enterprising firm. His Eminence encouraged the spread of the publications of the Catholic Truth Society, of which over 30,000 copies have passed through the hands of the firm since they embarked in the Catholic book trade about five years back. Although comparatively so recent since they started in the book line they have now, without doubt, by far the largest stock of Catholic books in the Australasian colonies, a whole three-story building being now occupied by their various book departments, embracing liturgical, devotional controversial, prayer, school and premium books, &c, carefully selected from the catalogues of over 80 English, Irish, American, French, German, and Belgian publishers. It iB now over 13 years since Louis Gille and Co., whose head house is in Lyons, France, established their Australian branch in Sydney under the patronage of his Eminence, and during this period the business has increased by leaps and bounds, until to-day their customers total over 1500, while considerably more than a thousand churches, oonvent chapels, &c, have been furnished by the firm. — %*
