Excerpt from Boniface of Crediton and His Companions: Based on Lectures Delivered in the Cathedral Church of Bristol in 1906 This little book had its origin in a course of lectures on Boniface delivered in the Cathedral Church of Bristol in 1906. In the autumn of 1909 the writer carried out an old proposal to visit the scenes of Boniface's work and residence, and to follow up so far as might be the traces of the English men and women who joined him_ in Germany when his pioneer work had been attended with a large measure of success. This Preface is written at the time when King Edward is lying dead and the writer is not without h0pe that an active realization by Germans of the debt owed to England by Germany, and by Englishmen of the labour and lives given to Germany by their predecessors eleven and a half centuries ago.
