A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

For some years it was my duty and privilege, as Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Nashotah, to direct the studies in that department of the young men preparing there for the Ministry of the Church. I then found it both necessary and profitable to trace for them, as well as I was able, the connection between the Ecclesiastical and the Political History of the different periods that came under review. The interest manifested in these explanations suggested to me that a course of lectures on this subject might be useful to such of the intelligent laity as are desirous to inform themselves about the past history of the Church ;and the design of writing such a course, when I should have opportunity to set about it, gradually grew in my mind. Other duties, however, prevented any serious attempt to realize this intention, until last year I received the honor of being appointed the Bishop Paddock Lecturer for 1887. On being notified of the appointment, it seemed to me that I could best fulfil it by giving my lectures this direction; and, having consulted the Dean of the General Theological Seminary, and received his opinion that such a course would be within the intention of the Foundation, this book is the result.
