COTTER. THE MASS AND RUBRICS OF THE ROMAN

CATHOLIC CHURCH, translated into English, with Notes and Remarks. By the Rev. JOHN R. COTTER, A. M. 18mo., 50 cents.

"Nothing is more common than to hear persons of all orders say that they cannot comprehend the Roman Mass when they see it celebrated. The reason is this: the vocal part is entirely in Latin and inaudible. Hence a translation of it in English was very needful, and, as Mr. Cotter observes in his Preface, it is astonishing that it never before was done. In the volume under notice, the whole series, from the beginning to the end, is given in Latin text, with a very exact version in our own language; thus presenting to us an original work of the highest value and authenticity to all Protestants who are anxious to comprehend the entire ritual of the Mass, both in its doctrine and ceremonies."―Journal of Commerce.

"M. Cousin is the greatest philosopher of France."-Sir William Hamilton.

"A writer, whose pointed periods have touched the chords of modern society, and thrilled through the minds of thousands in almost every quarter of the civilized world."-Edinburgh Review.

"Morality never found in genius a more devoted advocate than Cowper, nor has moral wisdom, in its plain and severe precepts, been ever more successfully combined with the delicate spirit of poetry than in his works. He was endowed with all the powers which a poet could want who was to be the moralist of the world-the reprover, but not the satirist, of men-the teacher of simple truths, which were to be rendered gracious without endangering their simplicity."

"Cary's Translation of the Vision of Dante is among the few immortal works destined to survive through all time, which are little known to our reading public. The Messrs.
