It treats of a period which was the turning point in the history of Western civilization, and although the standpoint of the author may to a certain extent influence the method of treatment, and cause many in this country to take exception to details, yet it is submitted that all will agree to its main argument, the position of the Chris tian Church as the great - the only civilizing force that survived the revolution which left the prostrate Empire face to face with the invading hordes.
