The Author has greatly to regret that this volume has extended far beyond the limits he desired. And his fear of enlarging it too much has induced him to withhold, at least for the present, much that might be regarded as the most interesting portion of his subject. He was fortunate in forming an intimacy with some of the most influential ecclesiastics at Rome influential from their station and their learning and with these he held many conferences and discussions on the practices detailed in this volume; and on the principal points at issue, letween the Churches of England and Rome. He had carefully written the details of these conversations at the time, but he has been reluctantly compelled to withhold them, as well as papers on the Catacombs, and outhe Church Architecture of Rome, from a fear of extending this volume beyond reasonable limits. Marlborough Buildings, Bath. A pril 27, 1S48.
