I. Archdiocese of Bourges

We have read tlie little book entitled Month of Deliverance for the Souls in Purgatory, and we think that its perusal may be useful to persons who pray for these helpless souls. Appe, Vicar-General.

October 24, 1863, the Abbe Lamblin, Vicar-Generalof theDioceseof Bourges, being consulted by tlie author before the third edition of tlie same little work was published, informed \\\n\ that his Lordship the Archbishop of Bourges maintained the same authorization in its favor.

III. Archdiocese of Bourges

By order of his Lordship the Archbishop of Bourges, I have examined the volume published by the Abbe Cloquet,

Approbation. 5

under the title of Month of Deliverance FOR THE Souls in Purgatory. In the doctrinal portions of the work I have found nothing but what was exact and pious. As to tliat part which treats more particularly of Indulgences, decision must be i-eserved for the Sacred Congregation of Indulgences, to which we know the author has submitted it. Such as it is, and with the above reservation, this work seems to us efficient to benefit the suffering souls.

Lamblin, Vicar-General, BouRGES, March 15, 1866.

IV

Since the date of the present authorization, the author has obtained a favorable decree of the Sacred Congregation. We cannot, then, but wish the greatest circulation possible for the work which shall hereafter bear the title of Month OF the Dead; or, Prompt and Easy Deliverance of the Souls in Purgatory.

Lamblin, Vicar-General,

BouRGES, Feb. 16, 1866.

6 Approbation.

V. Decretum

'J'ranslation.

The work entitled Month of the Dead ; or, Prompt and Easy Deliverance of the Souls IN Purgatory, by the Abbe Cloquet, missionary, has been submitted, as to Indulgences, to the judgment of two revisers. It has been compared with authentic documents, and being in strict accord with them, there is nothing to prevent its being printed and published.

Given at Rome, at the Office of the Sacred Congregation of Indulgences, Jan. 22, 1866.

We have seen and authenticated the above decree. 4* Charles Amable,
