1. An Parochi, qui nocturno caeteroquin tempore resident apud suas ecclesias, possint, celebrata summo mane missa in dictis ecclesiis, se conferre ad civitatem, et in ea diurno tempore totius vel majoris partis anni commorari, licet apud dictas ecclesias adsint eorum substituti? Resp. _Negative_. 2. An parochus villae, in qua non est alius sacerdos, etiamsi nullus infirmetur, sine episcopi licentia, gratis ubique concedenda, abesse possit a parochia per duos, vel tres dies, nullo idoneo relicto vicario? Resp. _Negative_. 3. An saltem abesse possit a mane usque ad vesperas, et quid si hoc semel in hebdomada evenerit. Resp. _Affirmative dummodo non sit die festo, et nullus adsit infirmus et raro in anno contingat_. 4. Sacra Congregatio censuit parochum nec posse per hebdomadam abesse non petita, vel non obtenta licentia, etiam relicto vicario idoneo ab ipso Ordinario approbato. "Dr. Henry's book" (says the editor of the _Analecta_, from which work we have drawn our notice of the work), "is valuable on account of its exactness and clearness. He has neither omitted nor treated superficially any important question, especially in the chapters concerning the residence of bishops and parish priests". IV. _Monumenta Vetera Historiam Hibernorum et Scotorum illustrantia ex Vaticani, Neapolis et Florentiae tabulariis depromsit, et ordine chronologico edidit_, A. Theiner. Romae: Typis Vaticanis, 1864. We must be satisfied with the bare announcement of this work in our present number. We hope to speak of Father Theiner's volume at greater length on another occasion. In the paper on the See of Ardagh in the Sixteenth Century, our readers have one proof of the great value of this publication. V. _Dionysii Petavii Opus de Theologicis Dogmatibus._ A J. B. Thomas in Seminario Verdunensi Theologiae Professore, recognitum et annotatum. Tomus I. Barri-Ducis, typis et sumptibus L. Guérin, 1864. In 4o, xviii. 629 pp. and portrait. There are at this moment two editions of _Petavius_ in the press in France--M. Vives, at Paris, and M. Guérin, at Bar-le-duc, being both engaged in the same work. The first volume contains, in addition to the Prolegomena, the first seven books of the treatise, _De Deo Deique proprietatibus_. The edition will be complete in eight volumes, at the cost of 8fr. 50c. per volume. It is a reproduction of the edition by Zaccaria, Venice, 1757. The short notes by the editor, the type, and the paper, are very satisfactory. VI. _Dissertations, Chiefly on Irish Church History._ By the late Rev. Matthew Kelly, D.D., Professor, Maynooth College, and Canon of Ossory. Edited by the Rev. D. M'Carthy, D.D. Dublin: Duffy. 1864. xiii. 448. VII.
