Formerly public Professor of Rhetoric, History and Philosophy, in the Universities of Rome, Fermo and Macerata, and in the latter place Counsellor of the Inquisition, WITH AN INTRODUCTION AND A CONTINUATION TO THE PRESENT TIME, BY REV. SAMUEL HANSOM COX, D. D. Professor Extraordinary of Biblical and Christian History ii th Union Theological Seminary, New York. This work was originally issued in England, and occupied its author nearly fifty years in preparation, and was published in seven quartovolumes, at a heavy cost. The undersigned propose to furnish the work in handsome style at Twenty-five Cents per number, to be completed in twenty..four numbers, making three handsome volumes, AT THE LOW PRICE OF .SIX DOLLARS; Thereby placing it within the reach of all who may desire a correct and faithful History of the Church of Rome, from its foundation to the present time. THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE WORK: From the REV. Da. BERG, Pastor of the German Reformed Ch!Ipa in Philadelphia. Bowers' History of the Popes is a work which has heretofore, from its volikminous character and its scarcity, been accessible to few; and although its high reputation has always kept it in demand, it has never been fairly brought within thereach of the reading public. The work embodies a vast amount of historical information which may be relied upon as authentic. The author having enjoyed the very best opportunities of consulting manuscripts and other documents, in order to verify his statements. The fact that Bower commenced his work an ardent Romanist, and ended it a most zealous Protestant, is in itself sufficient to create an interest in his book. It affords the undersigned great pleasure to commend the work to the favourable notice of all who desire a circumstantial history of the Popes. JOSEPH F. BERG, D. D. WE fully concur with REV. DR.
