OATHOLIO HISTORICAL RESEAROBES
The rapid increase’ of the C:
population, the thorough organization
of the Church among us, and the stimu-
lus recently given to the investigation of
religious annals, seem cate
that the time has come for the publiea-
in of a periodical especially devoted to
American Catholic history. While such
a periodical would not infringe on the
province of any other, it woul a val-
iti i Why
should not ten millions of Catholics feel
sufficient interest in the history of the
Church in America, with {ts victorious
and edifying record, to support a period-
ical devoted to the preservation of its
annals? Let their attention be but once
culled to it, and success is assure
Influenced by these considerations, and
encouraged by the support, limited
though it was, extended to the \aristori-
cal Researches in West

menced in July, 1894, I have determined
to change the name of the magazine, ex-
tend its sphere of inquiry to the whole
greater variety to its con-
tents, and ¢ contine it to the investigation
of matters relating to the Catholic reli-
gion ; thoug h much secular historical
data will also necessarily find a place in
its pages. The name of the periodical
