EDITOR'S PREFACE.
the reader to be the clearest writer now living on all matters connected with the Papacy.
His History of the Church of France is voluminous and elaborate; his work on the Jesuits, and his confutation of M. Renan, deserve to be universally known. Should this translation meet with the favor it merits, it is to be hoped that the translator will continue these labors, and enrich the English-speaking world with the entire series of the author's works.
- Buffalo, May, 1866. A. C. C.
