The favourable notice which this Translation has met with in so many quarters, and the demand for a Second Edition within six months of its appearance, afford a gratifying confirmation of the belief I had been led to entertain, that Dr. Dollinger's name would carry its own recommendation with it in this country, as in his own, and would at once secure attention to the intrinsic merits of a work proceed ing from his pen. It is hoped that the issue of a new Edition, in one volume, and at little above half the original price, may bring it within the reach of many, especially among the Clergy, to whom it might otherwise be less accessible.
