Author Description

Excerpt from Sequel to the Conversion of the Teutonic Race: S. Boniface and the Conversion of Germany For this reason an attempt has been made to arrive at accuracy, even in matters apparently indifferent. Of course to say this is to invite criticism, and in a book which covers so much ground in so small a compass, mistakes are inevitable'. However, we trust that the great features of the time are accurately rendered. It is important that Catholics should be familiar with the results of modern research. That Charlemagne was a Frenchman, that Francia in the eighth century meant France, that any individual then called himself an anglo-saxon, are myths which it is high time to explode because, harmless as they appear, they give a false View of the whole period.
