THE PRACTICAL WORKING 

 of THE CHURCH OF SPAIN. By the 

 Rev. FREDERICK MEYRICK, M.A., Fel- 

 low of Trinity College, Oxford. 



" Pleasant meadows, happy peasants, all holy 

 nionks, all holy priests, holy every body. Such 

 charity and such unity, when every man was 

 a Catholic. I ouce beheved in this Utopia my- 

 self, but when tested by stern facts, it all melts 

 away like dream." — A. Welby Fugin. 



" "The revelations made by such writers as 

 Mr. Meyrick in Spain and Mr. Gladstone in 

 Italy, have at least vir dicated for the Church 

 of En-fland a providential and morally defined 

 position, mission, and purpose in the Catholic 

 Church." — Morning Chronicle. 



" Two valuable works ... to the truthful- 

 ness of which we are glad to add our own testi- 

 mony : one, and the most important, is Mr. 

 Meyrick 's ' Practical Working of the Churc^h 

 of Spain.' This is the experience — and it is 

 the experience of every Spanish traveller— of a' 

 thoughtful person, as to the lamentable results 

 of unchecked Romanism. Here is the solid 

 substantial fact. Spain is divided between 

 ultra-infttlelity and what is so closely akin to 

 actual idolatry, that it can only be controver- 

 sially, not practically, distinguished from it : 

 and over all hangs a lurid cloud of systematic 

 immorality, simply frightful to contemplate. 

 We can offer a direct, and even personal, testi- 

 mony to all that Mr. Meyrick has to say." — 

 Christian Remembrancer. 



" I wish to recommend it strongly." — T. K. 

 Arnold's Theological Critic. 



" Many passing travellers have thrown more 

 or less light upon the state of Romanism 

 and Christianity in Spain, according to their 

 objects and opportun ities ; but we suspect these 

 'workings' are the fullest, the most natural, 

 and the most trustworthy, of anything that 

 has appeared upon the subject since the time 

 of Blanco White's Confessions."— 5pec«a<or. 



" This honest exposition of the practical 

 working of Romanism in Spain, of its every- 

 day efftcts, notits canons and theories, deserves 

 the careful study of all, who, unable to test the 

 question abroad, are dazzled by the distant 

 mirage with which the Vatican mocks many a 

 yearning soul thit thirsts after water-brooks 

 pure and full."— Literary Gazette.

SYMPATHIES of the CONTI- 



O NENT, or PROPOSALS for a NEW 

 REFORMATION. By JOHN BAPTIST 

 VON HIRSCHER, D.D., Dean of the Metro- 

 politan Church of Freiburc, Breisgau, and Pro- 

 fessor of Theology in the Roman Catholic Uni- 

 versty of that City. Translated and edited 

 with Notes and Introduction by the Rev. 

 ARTHUR CLEVELAND COXE, , M. A., 

 Rector of St. John's Church, Hartford, Con- 

 necticut, U. S. 



" The following work will be found a noble 

 apology for the position assumed by the Church 

 of Enzland in the sixteenth century, and for the 

 practical reform^ she then introduced into her 

 theology and worship. If tlie author is right, 

 then the changes he so eloquently urges upon 

 the present attention of his brethren ought 

 to have been made three hundred years atjo ; 

 and the obstinate refusal of the Council of 

 Trent to make such reforms in conformity 

 with Scripture and Antiquity, throws the 

 whole burthen of the sin of schism upon Rome, 

 and not upon our Reformers. The value of 

 such admissions must, of course, depend in a 

 great measure upon the learning, the character, 

 the position, and the influence of the author 

 from whom they proceed. The writer believes, 

 that questions ss to these particulars can be 

 mist satisfactorily answered." — Introduction 

 by Arthur Cleveland Coxe.
