De Rossi, in his _Bullettino di Archeologia Cristiana, Anno iv._,
Jan.-Feb., 1866, has given the reasons for the preponderating
influence which the cardinal-deacons had in the affairs of the
church, and for their frequent succession to the Papacy. Indeed, it
became in the third and fourth centuries an almost invariable rule to
elect the archdeacon to succeed to the chair of St. Peter.

One of the most recent and significant signs of change in the

A couplet from this great work is quoted in the _Dunciad_:
“So when Jove’s block descended from on high

Loud thunder to its bottom shook the bog,

The translation of the Earl of Lauderdale appeared before Pitt’s, but
it was really completed before Dryden’s, and the latter had the use
of it in MSS. in preparing his own, as he admits in his preface. Some

without change.

Footnote 183:
As for “gall,” there is, according to the writer’s own showing, more
of fallen than regenerate humanity in it. The less gall, then, the
better. The Holy Father has recently favored the Catholic press by
selecting St. Francis de Sales as its patron saint. The more closely
writers adhere to the saint’s spirit the nearer they will approach
their divine model, and the more abundant will their labors be in
good fruits.—ED. C. W.
