Art . I . — The Racoviyn Catechism , with Notes and Illustrations 9 translated from the Latin : to which is prefixed , a Sketch of the History of Unitarianism in Poland and the Adjacent Countries . By Thomas Rees , E . S . A . ( Since LL . D . ) 12 mo .
pp . 524 . Longman and Co . 1818 . [ The date of this valuable work suggests to us the necessity of making some apology for our long neglect of it ; but , again , we recollect that there are other instances in which we have been equally faulty , and , therefore , conclude that we shall do better to
proceed at once to supply past omissions , —remarking only that the Review department of so miscellaneous a work as ours can receive but its share of attention , and that circumstances beyoncl the Editor ' s controul , in this and other * portions of the work , frequently overrule his wishes , !
rilHE Racovian Catechism is JL the Confession of Faith of the proper Socinians . It was not originally published under this title , but came to be thus designated either from
its having been printed at Racow , a city of Poland , or from that city being regarded as the metropolis of the Polish Unitarians . It grew by degrees into its present form . Its history is minutely detailed by the Translator . Faustus Socinus and Peter Statorius ,
Junior , seem to have begun , and SmaLcius , Moscorovius and Valkelius to have completed it . The first publication of it was in the Polish language , ia 12 rao ., in 1605 : this edition is extremely scarce . Smalcius next put out a translation of it in German , in 1608 , with a Dedication to the tJniT
