Excerpt from Cathedra Petri: A Political History of the Great Latin Patriarchate; Books Vi;, VII., And VIII.; From the Middle of the Ninth to the Close of the Tenth Century
2. The somewhat lengthy retrospect of the past history of the papacy introduced in the first chapter of Book VI. Has suggested a doubt whether the writer has not burdened the memory of the reader with too much of detail, and thereby in a measure neutralised the advantage to be derived from a simple synopsis. Yet if this portion of the work should fall into the hands of any reader unacquainted with the prior volumes, the perusal of the chapter in question may put him in possession of the leading facts, and enable him to follow the course of the subsequent narrative, thus relieving him from the trouble of recurring to the preceding volumes.
