PREFACE.This little book does not pretend to be authoritative. It represents rather a few impressions obtained by an Anglican who has travelled a little in France, has made friends among the French clergy and has indulged in some rather desultory reading. But the author will be quite content if it makes English and French churchmen know each other a little better.In conclusion he would like to thank the Rev. W. J. Sparrow Simpson, D.D., for much kindly help and criticism in the writing of it, to Canon M. R. Newbolt for some helpful suggestions concerning Chapter VII. and to Mr. G. A. Parsons for reading through the proof-sheets.Surbiton, Surrey.Table of Contents CONTENTS; Chap P«8*; PREFACE vii; I FRENCH AND ENGLISH CATHOLICS 1; II CHURCH AND STATE 13; III THE CLERGY 29; IV WORKS 38; V THE PHILIPPINS OF ROUEN 48; VI THE CHURCH AND THE SOCIAL PROBLEM 61; VII THE CHURCH AND THE PROBLEM OF THE; POPULATION 75; VIII THE CHURCH AND THE ARMY 84; IX THE RELIGIOUS ORDERS AND MISSIONARY; ENTERPRISE 90; X THREE CATHOLIC NOVELISTS 96; XI OTHER CATHOLIC WRITERS 110; XII PRESS AND PUBLICATIONS 122; XIII ULTIMATE THINGS 129About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
