GILBERT'S COPIOUS SERIES OF PAMPHLETS on the ROMAN CATHOLIC QUESTION; containing Important Documents of Permanent Historical Interest having Reference to the Re-establishment of the CATHOLIC HIERARCHY IN ENGLAND, 1850-1.

The Editor of these Pamphlets deems it almost superfluous to dwell on the paramount importance of every respectable family possessing this volume of very special present and permanent interest. During the discussion of the exciting matters now at issue in this all-absorbing question, there can be no questioning the well-recognised fact that the possession of this copious and cheap volume is essential to every thoughtful and inquiring person in our beloved country. To enable those who are as yet unaware of the immense mass of interesting and important documents there are in its pages, an Index of its Contents is issued for Gratuitous Distribution—this will abundantly testify to the fact; and the Editor, in conclusion, thinks it only necessary to state that, with scarcely an exception, the whole of the documents are printed, verbatim, as they originally appeared, and in very numerous cases they have had the additional advantage of the direct and special revision of the authors.

The Editor deems it necessary to state his conviction that all the important facts and documents relative to the "Roman Catholic Question" have appeared in the pages of these Pamphlets. Doubtless, during the progress of the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill through the houses of parliament many speeches of interest will be made; still the Editor thinks they will, to a considerable extent, be merely elaborations of the materials already in these pages, devoid of original facts or documents. Should, however, on the conclusion of the debates, the Editor's opinions undergo a change, he will issue the results in the form of an Appendix to the present volume.

*** Any persons who may wish to possess the Series or sheet containing any specific article particularised in the Index, will be at liberty to purchase it separately, on One Penny or Three-half-pence each sheet respectively, or at one penny each extra post-free, through the Publisher. Series 1 to 17 sell at 1d., and 18 to 25 at 1½d. each, but it must be observed that each sheet or Series contains several documents.
