Callista
A Sketch of the Third Century (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Callista: A Sketch of the Third Century

It is hardly necessary to say that the following sketch is a simple fiction from beginning to end. It has little in it actual history, and not much claim to antiquarian research; yet it has required more reading than may appear at first sight.

It is an attempt to imagine and express, from a Catholic point of view, the feeling and mutual relations pf Christians and heathen at the period to which it belongs, and it has been undertaken as the nearest important work suggested to him from a high ecclesiastical.

September 13, 1855.

Postscript.

Since the volume has been in print, the Author finds that his name has got abroad.
