About this book

… [In] its pages I have attempted in a vague and personal way, in a set of mental pictures rather than in a series of deductions, to state the philosophy in which I have come to believe. I will not call it my philosophy; for I did not make it. God and humanity made it; and it made me…. This is not an ecclesiastical treatise but a sort of slovenly autobiography. - Summary by G.K. Chesterton
