THE DOMINICAN ORDER IN ENGLAND BEFORE BY BERYL E. R. FORMOY, M.A. " LONDON SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING NEW YORK AND TORONTO: THE MACMILLAN CO. THE object of this essay is to give, in a small compass, some idea of the life of the Black Friars in England during the Middle Ages. It was written before the appearance of Father Bede Jarrett's work on the same subject, and the writer, therefore, had not the advantage of being able to refer to that excellent work. This essay does not claim to be exhaustive, the scarcity and poverty of material for the medieval period being an insuperable difficulty. It is hoped, however, that, so far as it goes, this little book may stimulate the reader to fresh interest in the Dominicans in England and appreciation of their work. LONDON, 1925. 610467 |
