 without any common title. I am copying them 

 to form out of them one or two volumes of 

 about 900 pp. in all, to save them from destruc-

 prayers wiittou by Rev. Fr. (lordon, a Jesuit, 

 towards the middle of the last century. It is 

 probable that of these some at least are merely 

 copies.''
