BOOK BANNED TO CATHOLICS
VATICAN PUBLISHES INDEX. By Telegra-p-h—Press Assn. —Copyright. Rome, November 10. The first book to be published at the new printing works in the Vatican is the list of 5000 books which Catholics are forbidden to read. The Prohibitory Index absolutely forbids the entire works of heresiarchs. The Expurgatory deals with the contents of books which are deemed immoral or heretical,' and forbids them until the objectionable matter is expunged. All versions of the Bible by unauthorised persons are placed upon the index, as well as books which animadvert upon Rortian doctrine. Some of the works of Jewell, Pearson, Chaucer, Spencer, Addison, Goldsmith, and Macaulay are in the index.
