Articles liés à A Text-book of Church History Volume 2
Présentation de l'éditeur
Thiud Edition of the volume here presented to the public, have been so uncommonly rich in the production of materials, and in encouragement to further researches into this very period, that a new and thoroughly revised edition may well be expected from me. Traces will every where be found, that the volume here presented has undergone such revision. Though the increase in the number of sheets is comparatively insignificant (this edition is only two sheets larger than the former), yet I have labored to find place for new matter, by curtailing, and by omitting much that was superfluous, particularly in the quotations. Two new paragraphs are added, 81. on Art employed in the service of the Church, and 82. on the Kalend-guilds. While I mention the latter, I can not forbear from expressing my surprise that, although in an altered form they are still so often met with -in Northern Germany, they have never yet been made the subject of any general historical description, entering into their origin and their character; great as is the number of accounts of separate Kalendguilds, which are mostly occupied with their external history. The last thirty years constitute a period richer in historic lore than any that has ever yet been. A vast number of sources of history have been drawn forth from concealment, or issued in a more correct form. Countless treatises have thrown a new light on dark questions. Upon almost all portions of history we have received works which are remarkable for thorough investigation, views full of genius, or attractive modes of representation.

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.
