Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Second Synod of Ephesus: Together With Certain Extracts Relating to It
To be the means of presenting to the Church of the 19th Century an Oriental Document purporting to be the authorised Acts of an (Ecumenical Council of the 5th Century, in its original quaint costume as well as in a modern dress, by which a new page of the Church's chequered life might be unrolled and deciphered, and in which, too, as in a picture would be represented, in its deadliest aspect, one ghastly struggle between The Truth Herself and the Dragon of Heresy, when He vomited forth upon Her Mystical Body his most poisonous venom, was the original, and not very unimportant, object of producing these two almost unique Volumes.
How far that object has been attained, and how useful the realisation of it, may be best judged perhaps by those who scrutinise their pages.
A brief sketch may not be uninteresting or unacceptable, though perhaps not absolutely necessary.
