Excerpt from Catholicity: Conciones Ad Clerum Hese four lectures were addressed to the clergy of Birmingham and the neighbour hood, at the Church of St. Jude in that city, during the Lent of last year. They are pub lished almost exactly as delivered; but in some cases a little expansion has relieved, I hope, an obscurity that was due to compression. More than eighty of my brethren did' me the honour of listening continuously to discourses which certainly demanded, if they did not merit, very close attention; and I hope that others may find them not altogether unuseful in their published form.
