Hardcover. xii, [13]-372 p.; 19.5 cm. Edited with pref. by Jonathan M. Wainwright; signature: Geo.F. Seymour, Bishop of Springfield, IL `The course of argument pursued, which it may be convenient to state here, is as follows:-- I. The a priori objection to the truth of the Catholic System of Polity founded on the indeterminateness of the Sacred Records, and the antecedent probabilities in its favour derived from Prophecy and prescription, are briefly discussed. II. The positive evidence of Holy Scripture in recognition of the Episcopate is next adduced; and III. The testimony of Antiquity--as well that which has been supplied by the enemies as by the servants of the Church--incl.the first four ages of Christianity, is then cited. IV. The adversary is next referred to the witness of his own masters and teachers,who,even in the first setting up of their new schemes, acknowledged openly the divine origin of that primitive government which they loudly declared their reluctance to subvert,and for the restoration of which they prefessed,in the most animated terms,their sincere and unfeigned desire. The remarkable admissions of Knox and his confederates, together with many others, have been,for the sake of brevity,wholly omitted;--though "the views [of] the Scottish reformer on.episcopal superintendence.might be studied with advantage." V. The final argument is that which is supplied by the actual history ofthose religious bodies which have been severed from the Apostolical Succession,andwhich were originally founded either upon the deliberate rejection of the divine office of the Episcopate,or the supposed sufficiency of other modes of ecclesiastical discipline for preserving in its integrity "the faith once delivered to the saints."'

Hardcover. 2nd edition. 2 vols.: [3], 644 + [3], 479, xxxvi p.; 23 cm. Indexes: contents, authorities, added to 2nd ed. [First printed in 1862] `When our Lord would instruct His children how to distinguish, in every age, between true and false apostles, He gave them this precept--By their fruits ye shall know them. It is by this text that we have estimated the work of Catholic and Protestant missionaries in all parts of the world, and it is time to review the conclusions to which it has brought us. This shall be our present attempt. Two classes of men have appeared before us in the history which we have now completed. Both claimed to be ambassadors from God to the lands of the heathen. Brothers in outward form, and kinsmen in the order of nature, in all else they have differed so widely, that we might almost deem them beings of a separate race. Every thing in them exists only in contrast,--faith and works, motive and action, life and death. The one, models of sanctity, of prudence, and heroism, have run through all lands like tongues of fire, kindling every dry branch, bidding the sleeper awake, subduing the fierce, and bowing down the strong; the others, often profoundly immoral, and in their highest mood only patterns of domestic propriety, have moved even the pagan to doubt whether they professed any religion whatever. Yet both were children of a common parent, subject to the same infirmities, and filled, at the outset of their career, with the same natural gifts. In spite of this common nature and origin, the one became apostles and martyrs, the others only tourists and merchants.' (vol. 2, p. [401]) -- For this work Pope Pius IX conferred on the author the Cross of the Order of St. Gregory. Fair orig. green cloth set. Spines loose, portions laid in.…

Binding copy. xxiii, 423 p.; 22 cm. Signature in ink on ffep: Edward Bellasis, 1874 (friend and biographer of Cardinal Newman) The author "believes, on what appears to him sufficient evidence, that this life is very brief, and the next interminably long; and he is further of opinion that dead philosophers trouble themselves no more than dead asses whether the human brain, as Dr. Tyndall considers, `is the organised register of infinitely numerous experiences,' and are only feebly interested in the relations between `the organism and its environment,' having someething more urgent to think about.He supposes that if the `organism' is tormented in hell, with a dismal `environment' of horror and malediction, a complete refutation will be witnessed of Mr. Huxley's opinion, `that a hell of honest men,' which is an impossible institution, `will be more endurable than a paradise full of angelic shams,' which is still more impossible; and he doubts whether even `honest men' will afford each other much consolation if they happen to meet in the former locality, or continue, like Dr. Tyndall, to `discern in matter,' either of their own substance or of that which surrounds them, `the promise and potency of every form and quality of life.' Lastly he has the most undoubted belief that newspapers, in which the spirit of the age and the beauties of modern thought are so lucidly mirrored, are nothing, in spite of the self-esteem of those who produce them, but what the prince of journalists once called, in words which defy translation, `la reverberation de l'imperceptible dans l'infiniment petit.'"
