Excerpt from The Reactions Between Dogma and Philosophy, Illustrated From the Works of S. Thomas Aquinas: Lectures Delivered in London and Oxford, October December 1916 MY very special thanks are due to the hibbert trustees, in the first place, for the characteristic generosity of conception which enabled them to sanction the choice of a subject that lay, in appear ance at least, somewhat out of line with the general scheme of the Hibbert Lectures; and in the second place, for the unfailing patience and consideration they have exercised during the long delays in pre paring this volume for the press, delays caused in part by the nature of the work, but in part by a protracted period of illness, during which all work had to be suspended.
