"This volume is written in particular reference to the controversy on the subject named in the title-page, which exists between Romanists and Protestants.... The antagonism of Rome is upheld by men of learning, and it requires to be met by men similarly qualified. As aid towards attaining such qualification, Mr. Litton's work will be found of great use; containing, as it does, the result of much research, and the fruits of wisdom, piety, and earnestness. It will be found alike profitable to him who has not the opportunity to inquire extensively-to such a one it will spare much troubleand to him who has searched widely and thought profoundly; this volume, presenting to such an inquirer and thinker a world of valuable matter, will refresh his memory and lend vigour to his thoughts."
