Excerpt from The Works of Aurelius Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Vol. 4: The Anti-Pelagian Works of Saint Augustine; Volume I The Benedictine editors have enriched their edition with prefaces and critical and explanatory notes, and, above all, with the appropriate extracts from St. Augus tine's Retractations,1 in which we have the author's own final revision and correction of his works. All these have been reproduced in a translated form in this volume; and they will, it is believed, afford the reader sufficient guidance for an in telligent apprehension of at least the special arguments of the several treatises. The Benedictine editors, however, pre fixed to this detailed information an elaborate and lengthy preface, in which they reviewed the general history Of the Pelagian discussions and their authors, with especial reference to the part which St. Augustine played throughout it. This historical introduction it was at first intended to present to the reader in English at the head of this volume. In con sideration, however, Of the length of the document, we have so far changed our purpose as to substitute a shorter statement of certain facts and features of the Pelagian controversy, which it is hoped may contribute to a better understanding Of the general subject.
