PREFACE
THESE Considerations, written during the last six years’ residence inFrance, have already appeared in the Press of the United States. Theywere written from year to year without any thought of republication,which seems justified to-day by the acuity of the conflict between theChurch and the French atheocracy, a conflict which cannot but interestChristians everywhere.
