THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CONTROVERSY.--At the present crisis, when the
extraordinary aggression of Pope Pius IX. on the rights of the Church and
Sovereign of England renders a thorough acquaintance with the Roman
Catholic Controversy most essential, the Council of the PARKER SOCIETY are
desirous of calling public attention to the WORKS of the REFORMERS which
they have issued.
These are the writings of Archbishop Cranmer, two vols.; Bishop Ridley,
Latimer, two vols.; Coverdale, two vols.; Jewel, three vols. completed, the
fourth nearly ready; also those of Tyndale, three vols.; Becon, three
vols., &c.
The annual subscription to the Society is 1l., to be paid in advance, for
which each member receives four volumes. In the concluding volume of Bishop
Jewel's works will appear, among other treatises, his "View of a Seditious
Bull," being that issued by Pius V. against Queen Elizabeth. The
republication of this will be felt to be most seasonable at the present
time, and the complete answers furnished by the Romanisers to all the
Romish doctrines and assumptions will be found of the greatest interest and
use.
The Council are anxious to facilitate as far as possible the desire of the
Clergy and others to possess these important works; and as they have on
hand copies of some of the authors named, they are prepared to dispose of
these on reasonable terms. Application may be made to W. Thomas, Esq., 33.
Southampton Street, Strand.
It is particularly requested that the members will pay their subscriptions
for 1851 as early as possible. As the series of publications is is now
drawing to a close, this announcement is important, and the Council will
feel greatly obliged by attention to it.

of "Proposals for Christian Union."--CONTENTS: 1. Patriarchate of
Constantinople; 2. Alienation of Eastern and Western Churches; 3.
Athanasius and Arius; 4. Council of Florence; 5. Cyril Lucar.
"This work is not so much a history of the Greek Church generally, as
of that one most important feature in her career, the long protracted
struggle with the Western Church, which terminated in their unhappy
separation. The Author's investigation into the conflicting causes
which led to this result is ably carried out, with considerable
research, and great lucidity of style."--_Ecclesiastic._
This Essay concludes the series. The four preceding Numbers on Sale, Second
Edition, One Shilling each.
