Work has grown. Its object is ecclesiastico political - to present, in short, an historical guide-book for the problems of the present day. I am fully aware that the attempt. To compress within a small compass a subject so vast and multifarious can be nothing more than an attempt and I shall be grateful to criticism for every kind of correction and supplementary material.
