Preface

As regards its chief aim this book may be left to speak for itself. No preface is needed save by way of appeal to the reader to deal kindly with its faults. Written during a busy year of a busy life, it may possibly claim some little indulgence upon that score.

And as for the rest two prefatory words may suffice. The one is this sentence from Froude’s “History of England “: — “For the religion of Christ was exchanged the Christian religion.” The other is the plea that, where controversy comes in, the principles of civilised warfare have here been kept to: every consideration for the enemy, but no quarter for traitors.
