Excerpt from The Two Empires: The Church and the World
The present volume contains lectures on Church History delivered by Dr. Westcott at Cambridge during the earlier years of his tenure of the Regius Professorship of Divinity. At that time the Dixie Professorship of Ecclesiastical History had not been founded, so that there was no other provision for the teaching of Church History than that which the Divinity Professors might be willing to supply.
In the lectures here presented to the public I seem to be able to distinguish three courses, the first being on the Early Persecutions, the second on the Age of Constantine, and the third on the Nicene Council. But the manuscript does not entirely agree with such fragmentary outlines of these courses as I have been able to discover, so that it is not improbable that considerable portions of the lectures were committed to writing subsequently to their original delivery. There has certainly been some later revision.
