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. THE AUTHOR.
