Description:PREFACE This English translation of the treatise, is the second version of that work which the author has offered to the public. A French translation, from the second Latin edition, made its appearance a few months ago, and in his preface the translator claimed for it that it was more than a mere translation, that many points had, in fact, been the object of fresh study and of conscientious revisio on the part of the author, so that the volume, then issued, gave to its readers the equivalent of a third edition of the original work. The like may be said, and with even greater reason, of the present translation. Made directly from the French, its preparation has been followed throughout by the author with ceaseless care, and he has spared no pains to provide a work that should leave nothing to be desired in the way of doctrine or of erudition. In taking upon himself this task, the author was actuated, on the one hand, by a desire to meet the wishes of many brother-priesls and aspirants to the priesthood among the English-speaking clergy and, on the other hand, by the hope of rendering a service to the educated laity, by placing in their hands a work which would enable them to obtain first-hand infornation on this important subject. Not to speak of additions and corrections, the entire translation has been supervised with the greatest care. It follows the exact lines of the original work certain passages of a delicate nature being left in Latin, and faithfully reproduces every chapter. In it will be found a methodical and classic exposition of the doctrine and discipline of the Church in the matter of betrothment and marriage, from the point of view of canon law and of dogmatic and moraltheology, together with a commentary, as complete as possible, on the modifications recently introduced. addition, side by side with questions that properly belong to canon law and theology, will be found notices on history and civil law, printed in a smaller type, and giving an idea of the state and development of the eccIesiastical and civil law in this matter. The parallel exposition af the two laws and of their successive changes presents an interest which there is no need to emphasise. The work, in its English translation, is published in two volumes. An index to the complete work will appear at the end of the second volume. In conclusion, we may observe that, for the purpose of preserving the unity of the work, and in order to avoid interfering with the original arrangement of the chapters, the author has thought it better to deal with the English and American legislation on betrothnlent and marriage in the form of a supplement, rather than to insert that matter in the different chapters. The reader will have no difficulty in finding the comesponding places in the body of the work...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
