was but form. Again in all the contests be-

gentleman's own showing in p. II, "the high
rank which the author sustained as minister
iof the Roman Catholic Church" is notin point
Of fact equal to the rank Of any pastor OF that
Church i'll the City of Baltimore, yet the Right
Rev. Doctor Kemp and his clergy put 1t for
ward as very trong feature to recommend the
work.

Blanco White contain temperate and able ex-
position Of the errors Of Popery. The high
rank which the author sustained as minister
| of the Roman Catholic Church, eminen,ly quail
fled him for the task which he has undertaken
& so well fulfilled; & his familiar acquaintance
with all the secret springs and movements OF
| that wonderful system, has enabled him % di.
versify his discussion with many highly inter-
estine and important incidents. We therefore
cheerfully recommend the work as highly de.
serving Of nublic attention.
