Excerpt from The Works of Aurelius Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Vol. 12: The Anti-Pelagian Works of St. Augustine, Volume II These, with the contents of our former volume, comprise eight of the fifteen works contributed by the great author to the defence of the Catholic faith against Pelagius and his most conspicuous followers. The prefaces and chapter head ings, which have been, as heretofore, transferred to their proper places in this volume from the Benedictine edition of the original, will afford the reader preliminary help enough, and thus render more than a few general prefatory remarks unnecessary here.
