2. An parochus villae, in qua non est alius sacerdos, etiamsi nullus infirmetur, sine episcopi licentia, gratis ubique concedenda, abesse possit a parochia per duos, vel tres dies, nullo idoneo relicto vicario? Resp. Negative.
3. An saltem abesse possit a mane usque ad vesperas, et quid si hoc semel in hebdomada evenerit. Resp. Affirmative dummodo non sit die festo, et nullus adsit infirmus et raro in anno contingat.
4. Sacra Congregatio censuit parochum nec posse per hebdomadam abesse non petita, vel non obtenta licentia, etiam relicto vicario idoneo ab ipso Ordinario approbato.
"Dr. Henry's book" (says the editor of the Analecta, from which work we have drawn our notice of the work), "is valuable on account of its exactness and clearness. He has neither omitted nor treated superficially any important question, especially in the chapters concerning the residence of bishops and parish priests".

We must be satisfied with the bare announcement of this work in our present number. We hope to speak of Father Theiner's volume at greater length on another occasion. In the paper on the See of Ardagh in the Sixteenth Century, our readers have one proof of the great value of this publication.
