THIS little work is an honest attempt to deal with the new heresy of Modernism, and make clear to the general reader the true inner nature of this quintessence of all heresies. Though there may be, and doubtless will be, many abler efforts in that direction than this humble one, the writer trusts it will contribute even in a small way to show up Modernism, and let the public know how deadly an error it is. If this object be achieved, the writer will feel that this labour has not been in vain.

The writer submits all he has written to the Supreme Authority of the Catholic and Roman Church, to which he yields a most unswerving and loyal obedience.
