Présentation de l'éditeur

The following essays of Father George Tyrrell are drawn, for the most part, from notebooks and unpublished material.

The Journal, of which a large portion is first published in these pages, was written during the course of the year 1904, while its author was yet a member of the Society of Jesus, but the collection contains also a good deal of matter drawn from a later, and less elaborated notebook, written during the year 1906, in the months succeeding his rupture with the Society, and particularly during the period of his wanderings in France. The Journal of 1904 is undoubtedly the incomplete scheme of a definite work; perhaps one of the most important works that its author ever planned. Part of it had even been typed and arranged, and 1A utobiography and Life of George Tyrrell.
