From the author's foreword: "These short talks, prepared for the congregation of Saint Joseph's Church, Matlock, try to present that Truth in which Christ gave testimony. An attempt has been made to arrange them in order, based on the chief feastdays of the year, to form a brief outline of the Catholic Faith". Footnotes are used throughout for scripture references. Mild wear to the externals (corners and spine tips), the spine lettering is faded, the free end papers are browned and the front end paper hinge is starting (partially torn) though the binding is still very sound and solid while the interior is very clean.
