A note by Father Hetherington, of Westminster Cathedral, explaining the proper use of the Missal in view of the recent reforms, which are all incorporated.
The Form:
The neatest English-Latin Missal published. It is a pocket Missal. The type is beautiful, clear and bold, and the paper is perfectly opaque.
The only Missal printed throughout in red and black. This makes for a delightful ease of reference and reading, and greatly enhances the beauty of a well-designed page.

OF GOD AND HIS CREATURES. By Father Joseph Rickaby, S.J. An Annotated translation, of the “Summa Contra Gentiles” of St. Thomas Aquinas. Foolscap folio, strongly bound. An acknowledged masterpiece of the printers' art. 21/- net (postage 7d.). Uniform with the “History of the Holy Eucharist in Great Britain.”
This minor masterpiece of the great Dominican Doctor of the Church, now for the first time translated into English, is elucidated in the light of modern learning by the comments of the Jesuit translator. These Notes have placed Father Rickaby in the first rank of annotators; and the handsome folio page admits by its size the printing of them in direct contact with the text to which they refer. Thus is a profound treatise brought, for the most part, within the apprehension of the simplest reader.
