Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced. Several apparent misspellings may be intentional, and have not been changed.

Illustrations in this eBook have been positioned between paragraphs and outside quotations.

[Page 69]: Page 69: “Mr. Belloc will get if he says” probably is missing an “it” after “get”.

[Page 95]: Part of the last paragraph was misprinted. Transcriber has attempted to correct that error. The original text was:

And this apparently is the present state of
Catholic teaching. This stuff I have examined is
ance of organised Christianity, so far as there is
representative stuff. This is the current utter-
ance of organised Christianity, so far as there is
any utterance, upon the doctrines of the Creation
and the Fall—doctrines upon which rest the whole
scheme of Christian salvation and the entire fabric
of a Christian’s faith.
