Excerpt from The New Reformation: A Narrative of the Old Catholic Movement From 1870 to the Present Time; With a Historical Introduction A Historical Introduction, explanatory of the chief points at issue in relation to the subject throughout the history of the Church, has been prefixed, and will probably be of service to those with whom the question of the Romish supremacy has not been the object of previous investigation. To this, again, the account given of the assembling and proceedings of the Vatican Council has appeared a necessary addition.
