Book Description
Excerpt from Lectures and Essays on University Subjects It has been the fortune of the author through life, that the volumes which he has published have grown for the most part out of the duties which lay upon him, or the circumstances of the moment. Rarely has he been master of his own studies. His first publications, the History of the Arians, and the Church of the Fathers, and, at a later date, his Translation of St. Athanasius, are the only exceptions to the rule. The present small Volume, made up of papers which he wrote for the Catholic University of Ireland, is certainly not an exception. Rather, it requires the above consideration to be kept in view, as an apology for the want of keeping which is apparent between its separate portions, some of them being written for public delivery, others with the privileged freedom of anonymous compositions.
