Annus Sanctus ; Hymns of the Church for the Ecclesiastical

Year. Translated from the Sacred Offices by Various Authors, with Modern Original and other Hymns, and an Appendix of Earlier Versions.

Selected and arranged by Orby Shipley, M.A. Two vols. in one. {Barns and Oates.)—This is an edition de hid e, printed on thick rough paper of the best kind, so as to be suitable for a Christmas present, of the valuable collection recently reviewed in these columns of the Latin hymns used by the Roman Catholic Church. The second volume contains also a good many modern and original hymns. The type and paper leave nothing to be desired.
