xvi INTRODUCTION
The work of compilation has not been slight, but it
will be well repaid if even one pilgrim feels that the book
has added something to the joy and consolation of his
visit to the city of the Saints.
Others, who have no opportunity of visiting Rome,
may also wish to read about its holy places, and to visit,
at least in spirit, the spots consecrated by the faith, the
piety, the heroic endurance of the Saints.
It should be added that all the profits of the sale of
the Volume will be applied to the Zambesi Mission.
SECOND EDITION.
The first edition of 2,400 copies, published in 1903 in
New York at the office of The Messenger, was nearly
exhausted in a twelvemonth. The second edition, pre-
pared at the request of many prelates, priests, and lay
persons of distinction, was printed at the Manresa Press,
Roehampton, London, S.W., in 1905. Though smaller
in size than its predecessor, it contains considerably more
matter, over two hundred additions having been made
to the text.
THIRD EDITION.
The favour with which the two previous editions
were received has led to the issue of a third, greatly
enlarged edition, with 55 pages of additional matter
describing Pilgrim-Walks to Tivoli, Frascati, Grotta
Ferrata, Albano, Subiaco, Genezzano, Palestrina, &c.,
places full of Catholic and historical interest, which no
visitor to Rome should leave without seeing, if possible.
The book is thus more complete, supplying information
not to be found in any other guide-book.
