and only a few copies are in existence. The use of the Latin 

 language in the Dalmatian seminaries since the year 1828 has 

 had the effect of increasing the use of the Latin in the Roman 

 Rite there, and the use of the Glagolitic books has accordingly 

 diminished. Of course the non-Slavic inhabitants of Dalmatia 

 and Croatia have always used the Latin language in the Roman 

 Rite. At present the Slavonic language for the Roman Rite, 

 printed in Glagolitic characters, is used in the Slavic churches 

 of the Dioceses of Zengg, Veglia, Zara and Spalato, and also 

 by the Franciscans in their three churches in Veglia, one in 

 Cherso, two in Zara, and one in Sebenico. Priests are for- 

 bidden to mingle the Slavonic and Latin languages in the cele- 

 bration of the Mass, which must be said wholly in Slavonic 

 or wholly in Latin.
