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.
