Book Description

Excerpt from History of the Catholic Church, Vol. 1: From the Renaissance to the French Revolution The remarkably rapid sale of the First Edition is attributed by the author more to the importance of the subject dealt with than to the merits of his work. Everywhere - in Ireland, Great Britain, the United States, and Australia - the History of the Catholic Church from the Renaissance to the French Revolution has received a generous welcome. Students interested in this period of Church History were delighted to find that, while the Reformation movement on the Continent had not been neglected, particular attention had been given to its origin and progress in England, Ireland, and Scotland. The author wishes to express his thanks to the reviewers, publishers, and printers, as well as to the students of the College who assisted him in preparing the Second Edition.
