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, &C., &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.
1t also shows to what an extent Popery is
making its ravages throughout the United
States and the world; while at the same
time it exposes the abomnable corruptions
of the Catholic Priesthood, and the inhu-
name means used by them to extort money
from their ignorant and deluded dupcs.
Their Internal tricks and plans for carrying
out their licentiousness 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
greater service then by aiding in its ex-
teusiqe circulation.
The above named work was designed, by
its author, to enlighten the American Peo-
plo on the subject of Popery as it occurs in
this country; and it is disclosure Of events
3 and Of the plans and operations of that
church, which must be of interest to the
Christian philanthropist and republican.
With the present aspect of Romanism in
this country, this is q work worthy Of n
place in every Protestant family.
We are ofan opinion that there's embodied
in Hogans 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
n standard work on Popery.
We could procure a large number Of tes-
timonials in regard to the work but trust
that the certificates given, will be sufficient
to insure it the confidence of the public.
