Catechism set forth by ARCHBISHOP HAMIL-
TON, printed at St. Andrews, 1551, together

Andrews, black letter, thick small 4to, cloth,

20s (pub 2 108)

This catechism, besides being a work exhibiting more

Ecclesiastical Authority of the highest kind, it is
perhaps unique.

The original, of which this is a facsimile reprint, s
so rare that Dr. Laing's copy sold for £148,
