Présentation de l'éditeur
Lectures were delivered under the auspices of the Lowell I nstitute, in Boston, on the successive Tuesday and Friday evenings from February I2th to March 8th, 1895. They are printed as they were delivered, save that much matter, consisting mainly of illustrative quotations from the early Fathers, which had to be omitted in the delivery, appears in these pages. It scarcely needs to be said that scholars will find in the lectures nothing new; but I dare to believe that the general reader will find here, in intelligible form, much which he shall look for elsewhere in vain, save in more or less voluminous and sometimes not easily obtainable church histories. My thanks are due to the friends by whom I was inspired to undertake this task; and I am specially indebted to the Rev.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
