Preface to Second Edition

I WELCOME this opportunity of thanking all those who have done me invaluable service by the criticisms they have made upon this work, and also those who have kindly pointed out minor errors, especially to the Rev. Fr. Harton and Mr. J. P. Godwin, the latter of whom has corrected many mistakes in the Bibliography. Unfortunately, it has been found impossible to add, as I should have liked to have done, a chapter on Dominican methods and one, after the manner of French writers, answering some of the criticisms made. The favourable reception and rapid sale of the book is very gratifying as evidencing the increasing attention which is being paid to this important subject.

BEDE FROST.
