His great work has for nearly fifty years regularly been quoted for its devotional as well as its historical value, and has regularly attracted new readers.In this book for the first time, critical studies in the learned periodicals of many countries have been carefully sifted and the results arranged to give a clear picture of the development of the Eucharistic rite.
