In the "Temple Classics" (J. M. Dent and Co.) we

have the Sacrum Coinniercium ; or, Converse of Francis and his Friends with Holy Poverty (ls. and ls. 6d.), translated by Canon Rawnaley, with a Preface by M. Sabatier. The translation is excellent, and the preface what we might expect from the writer. The Latin text would have been the better for a little revision—ccegerunt, e.g.—and the punctuation is sometimes defective.
