This Work not only gives an account of
the Catholic Religion in the United States
but in Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Italy,
South America, Mexico, Canada, SC, &c,
&c. also, an explanation Of their articles
Of faith, with their Seven Sacraments,
which they hold to be indispensably neces-
sary to their salvation together with some
very interesting facts concerning Bishop
who is extensively known in this country
as one of the greatest advocates of Popery,
with his Oath prior to his coming hither.
Ii also shows to what IN extent POpery is
making its ravagcs throughout the United
States and the world; while Mt the same
time it exposes the abominable corruptions
of the Catholic Priesthood. and the iuhu I
name means used by them to extort money
from their ignorant and deluded dupes. !
Their Internal tricks and plans for carrying
out their lcentiousness are fully detailed,
as also the many ways in which they destroy
their offspring to avoid detection.
In short, all the facts embraced in this
work are well calculated to excite a deep
interest in the mind of every friend Of true
Religion and they cannot render the cause
n greater service then by aiding in its ex-
tensiqe circulation.
The above named work was designed, by
its author. to enlighten the American Peo-
plo on the subject of Popery rs it occurs in
this country and it is y disclosure of events
and of the plans and operations of tnat
church, which must be Of interest to the
Christian philanthropist and republican.
With the present aspect of Romanism in
this country, this is work worthy of
place i'll every Protestant family.
We are of an opinion that there's embodied
in lIogan's writings, more valuable infor- !
nation in regard to Romanism in America
then in all the authors put together who
have written on the subject. Some thou
sands of copies Of this work have been dis
trsbuted in New England, and have been
received by the Protestant communities 'as
a standard work on Popery.
We could procure a large number of tcs-
timonials in regard to the work but trust
that the certificates given. will be sufficient
to insure it the confidence of the public.

Of VIM. Hogan, Pastor of St. Mary's

By THE AUTHORITY OF GoD ALMIGHTY,
the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and the
undefiled Virgin Mary, mother AID patro-
ness OF our Saviour, and of all celestial vir
tues, Angels, Archangels, Thrones, Domin-
ions, Powers, Cherubims and Scraphims,
and of all the Holy Patriarchs, Prophets, !
and Of all the Apostles, Evangelsts, of the .
Holy lnnocents, who in the sight Of the
Holy Lamb are found worthy to sing the
new song of Holy Martyrs and Holy Confess
sions, and of the Holy Virgins, aud of all
Saints, together with the Holy Elect of
lie WILLIAM HOGAN, be damned.
We excommunicatc and anathematize
him. and from the threshold of the Holy
Church of God Almighty we sequester him,
that he may be tormented, despised, and be
delivered over with Dathan and Abiram,
and with those who say unto the Lord, de.
part from US for we desire none Of thy
ways"--as fire is quenched with water so
let the light Of him be put out for. r.eyermore
unless it shall repent him, and make salts
fnction. Amen
May the Father, who created man, curse
him May the Son who suffered for US,
curse him May the Holy Ghost who suf-
fered for us in baptism, curse him May
the Holy Cross which Christ, for our saliva
ton, triumphing over his enem es, ,ascended
curse him.
May the Holy and Eternal Virgin Mary,
