THE COUNCIL OF TRENT: COMPRISING AN ACCOUNT OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THAT ASSEMBLY; AND ILLUSTRATING THE SPIRIT AND TENDENCY OF POPERY. PHILADELPHIA: PRESBYTERIAN BOARD OF PUBLICATION. JAMES RUSSELL, PUBLISHING AGENT. 1841. NUV 22:37 25 MIN938 NKS 084c PREFACE. THIS Volume contains the historical portion of the work entitled, " A Text-Book of Popery; comprising a History of the Council of Trent, held A. D. 1545-1563, and a complete view of the theological system of Popery. By J. M. Cramp. Second edition. 1839. 8vo." It has been re-arranged and abridged by the author. As it was deemed unnecessary, in a work intended for general readers, to crowd the margin with references, it may suffice to state, that the authorities chiefly consulted are the rival histories of Father Paul and Cardinal Pallavicini, and the voluminous collection of documents relative to the Council, published by Le Plat, A. D. 1781-1787, in seven quarto volumes. | 985199 |
