Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Archbishop s House, Westminster, S.W., June 4.th, 1894. Very Rev. Dear ,M r. Allies has just republished, in a cheap and popular edition, his volume entitled The Formation of Christendom.

We have nothing like it in the English language. It meets a need which becomes greater daily with the increase of mental culture and the spread of education.

If any man desires to ennoble his own estimate of the Catholic Church, let him read this book. If any mans soul is capable of rising to a lofty ideal of life, as a living member of Catholic Christendom, let him understand the part that Christ has taken (and is still taking) in the formation of Christendom, as is shown from trustworthy sources by the en of Mr. A llies.
