Présentation de l'éditeur
This little book is the realisation, all too unworthy as I know well, of a plan which has been long in my mind. Having had to teach ecclesiastical history continuously for some twelve years, I have endeavoured again and again, as doubtless other teachers have, to say something in lecture as to the methods of study to be used. But whilst lecturing is the ideal method of imparting some kinds of knowledge, it is ill fitted for the communication of such guidance as this; and I have felt increasingly the need of a book which could be placed in the hands of students at our colleges, and of those who, being already at work in their parishes, desire to continue their historical studies. It is for these two classes (they are really one) that I have written; and the book is not intended primarily as a manual for the professed student of history. Nevertheless I venture to hope that some of these may find it useful. It may be noticed that I have spoken throughout of ecclesiastical history rather than of Church history. I have done so of set purpose; and the reason will be obvious to anybody who will read the first chapter of this book.
