The Common Prayer in Latin. A Letter to the Rev.

Sir W. H. Cope Bart, by William John Blew. (C. J. Stewart.)—The author advocates a translation of the Prayer Book into Latin, carefully preserving the language of the Latin originals so far as the English was drawn from a Latin source, in order that it may be disseminated among Roman Catholics. The subject is treated with much learning and good sense, and we believe that this would be about the most practicable way of suggesting reforming ideas to the Catholic priesthood. Much might be effected now in Italy by this expedient.
