"Loci theologici" wai fint publuihed in 1563, three years After the author'8death,bv the Grand Inquisitor V»ldes. Twenty-six editions followed the first : eight in Spain, nine in Italy, seven in Germany, and two in Franco. Numerous writers during the followins cen- turies produced works on the same lines: Scraphinius Ractiua (Raiii) {d. 1613), Petnis de Lorca (d. IB06), Dominicus a S. Trinitnte (d. 16S7), Ch. du Plessis d'A^entrfe (d. 1740), FrancLicus Kmni, and many more. Gradually the subject-matter of the loci en- tered the body of theology imdcr the title of "Prole- gomena", general dogmatics, fundamental theolofn', or apologetics. In "A Manual of Catholic TheoloRy , by Wilhplm and Seanncll (I,ondon, l!(fMJ). the hria.re treated in the first liook under the foUowintjhfadinKs: the sources of theoloEical knowledge; Divine revela- tion; transmission of revelation; the Apostolic de- posit of revelation; ecclesiastical tnuiitions; the rule of faith; faith; faith and undomtandinR.
Tbe necessity of meeting attacks on the Faith at the precise point on which they are directed has, of recent years, led to a modiliration in apoloeetic methods. Existing textbooks draw their proofs from Scripture, tradition and, when possible, from reason. The au* thority of these loci, or sources, having Ixwn previ- ously proved, the demonstration ia considered com- plete. But since evolutionLim has taken hold of the modern mind and filled it with a never-sotisifieJ desire to know the origin and the zrowth of all Ihinji;!! in the Kalms of nature and of mind, the liici thcmaelves have been submitted to fierce criticism liy men who will 1« convinced by nothing but fact^ and cxperimrntn. They proceed by the positive, or liiatoricul. method which eliminates all supernatural factors, and retains only the bare facts linked together in an unbroken chain of causes and effects. The Bible to them is no longer the Word of God, but a mere collection of docu- menta of various merit; the Church in an institution of bumar) origin. It must be eonfcssral that the histori- cal method is fraught with danger even U> those who use it in defence of the Church. Tlio ilangcr is real but.BO ia the necessity of facing it, for it in usclp$.s to argue from authority with men who acknowledge no auUiority. What is wanted is that the Catho- lic apoloeist keep a steady eye on the landmarks lixe<l by tneCnurch,and dci-iate neither to the right nor to the left. With that precaution, the historical methoil is likely to become an abundant source of light an<l understanding on points of doctrine and discipline hitherto viewed out of their historical frame and in a borrowed light. Thus the discovery of the Didache {q. v.) has been a revelation which' has upset many fond calculations, and the excavations in Palestine. AssiTia, Egypt, and other places, where they liear on Bible history, have done more good tlian harm to the traditional views. The French are at the present doy the pioneers of the historical treatment of doema; one need only point to the splendid series of "Studies in the History of Dc^mas " published by Ijecoffre in Paris.

Of greater interest is the "Macbeth" music, composed in 1672, but it ia almost certain that the well-known score was really the work of Henry Purcell.
