1915PREFACE
all the matter contained inNEARLY
these chapters has previously ap-
peared in some form or other in the
pages of The Month. Some of the
articles, however, were published
ontwenty years ago,and inbringing themupclose
to date I have often found it necessary to re-write
and to develop. I have also had occasion to
fromborrow somewhat papers which I have con-
tributed to the Dublin Review and to the
Ecclesiastical Review of Philadelphia, and my
thanks are due to the Editors of these periodicals
for their kind permission to reproduce. As the
book now finally appears, after much manipula-
tion and readjustment, it will, I trust, be found to
contain a brief but fairly comprehensive sketch
of the Catholic practice of prayer for the dead
from the first centuries of Christianity down to
the close of the Middle Ages.
In the account given of the origin of the three
Masses on All Souls' Day 1 also in(pp. 21-134),
Chapters III and V, devoted respectively to
Mortuary Rolls and to the Month's Mind, wellas
as in the criticism of Sir Frazer's folk-James G.PrefaceVI
""theories regarding the Feast of the Deadlore
101-118 the brokenand 226-231), ground(pp. pp.
I believe, entirely new, so far at least as con-is,
cerns the English reading public to whom this
little book is addressed.
