PREFACE THE contents of this volume appeared originally in The Catholic
Transcript, of Hartford, Connecticut, in weekly installments, from
February, 1901, to February, 1903. During the course of their
publication, it became evident that the form of instruction adopted was
appreciated by a large number of readers in varied conditions of life
this appreciation being evinced, among other ways, by a frequent and
widespread demand for back numbers of the publishing journal. The
management finding itself unable to meet this demand, suggested the
bringing out of the entire series in book form; and thus, with very few
corrections, we offer the "Briefs" to all desirous of a better
acquaintance with Catholic Morals.
