St. Peter in Rome and His Tomb on the Vatican Hill (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from St. Peter in Rome and His Tomb on the Vatican Hill There IS little needed by way of Preface to the present volume. The author is aware that it might have been much better had his leisure been greater. There must be much valuable information lying forgotten in the Manuscripts of the various Libraries of Europe, and this is a field he has not been able to touch. The book has been the product of the leisure hours of a life already sufficiently full, as the life of any Catholic priest in England is almost bound to be. For this cause he would ask for a merciful treatment in the criticisms he cannot hope to escape, since he has felt obliged on so many points to run counter to the opinions which at present are generally held.
