Notes

Immaculate Mother. [B. V. M.] This is in the Parochial Hymn Book of the Rev. A. Police, Boston, U.S., 1897, No. 228, entitled "Hymn in honour of our Lady of Lourdes." In Tozer's Catholic Hymns, 1898, it begins "Immaculate Mary" and is marked as a translation from the French. The tune in both cases is the Lourdes "Ave Maria" tune, but the words are in no sense a translation of the Lourdes hymn (Pelerinage National, 1899, p. 214, beginning "L'heure etait venue,") and do not suggest a French original. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.]
