A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Popular Catho Udl Abrary was formed, the author of the following little work was consulted upon it. He not only approved of the design, but ventured to suggest, among others, a series of tales illustrative of the condition of the Church in different periods of her past existence. One, for instance, might be called The Church of the Catacombs; a second, The Church of the Basilicas; each comprising three hundred years; a third would be on The Church of the Cloister; and then, perhaps a fourth might be added, called The Church of the Schools. In proposing this sketch, he added perhaps the reader will find indiscreetly that he felt half inclined to undertake the first, by way of illustrating the proposed plan. He was taken at his word, and urged istrongly to begin the work. After some reflection, he consented ;but with an understanding, that it was not to be an occupation, but only the recreation of leisure hours. With this condition, the work was commenced early in this year; and it has been carried on entirely on that principle. It has, therefore, been written at all sorts of times and in all sortd of places; early and late, when no duty urged, in scraps and fragments of time, when the body was too fatigued or the mind too worn for heavier occupation; in the road-side inn, in the halt of travel, in strange houses, in. every variety of situation and circumstances sometimes trying ones.

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.
