Excerpt from Free Church of Ancient Christendom: And Its Subjugation Under Constantine The present work makes no pretensions to rank as a Church History. It simply aims to present, in a series of rapid historical sketches, a general view of the process through which the Christian Church passed, from the day of her espousals to Christ, till she was brought to hail, what a living Roman-Catholic historian complacently calls, "her emancipation by Constantine." In the view which the Author had previously entertained, that the average lifetime of man is the natural unit in the chronological arrangement of history, he was greatly confirmed by meeting with the following passage in Mr. John Stuart Mill's admirable treatise on Logic.
