Excerpt from Handbook to Christian and Ecclesiastical Rome, Vol. 2: The Liturgy in Rome
This Second Part of the series treats of the Church ceremonies, and gives some historical account of their origin and meaning; it is also arranged as an office book for use at the functions. For this purpose the Latin and English texts of the mass appear, the latter being the accepted English translation.
A description of these Christian festivals and cere monies necessarily holds good for the same ceremonies and festivals elsewhere, and we therefore hope that the book will also prove of use out of Rome.
