Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Explanation of the Construction, Furniture and Ornaments of a Church, of the Vestments of the Clergy, and of the Nature and Ceremonies of the Mass Entering fully into the views of your Eminence I undertook the task; and during the last three or four weeks, have, at such intervals as I could devote to it, compiled this explanation of the Mass. From the manner in which it has been composed, and drawn, as it were, from my pen to the press, with scarcely a moment for reading what had been written, it must necessarily have great imperfection of style: but I feel confident that it is accurate in its statement of facts, and reference to authorities, as I was most scrupulous in having the very passage of every author to whom I refer, before me whilst I wrote. As probably the greater number of those for whose use it is designed, are unfortunately separated from our communion; and as I have generally found at both sides of the Atlantic, that however well educated and extensively informed such persons might be upon other subjects, they had the most incorrect notions of our doctrine, very little knowledge of its distinct separation from our discipline, and scarcely any idea of the history of the latter; it became necessary for me to enter into expositions somewhat more in detail than I otherwise should have done: for it would be folly to expect that the ceremonial could be intelligible to persons who had not some in formation upon those points.
