Abstract
Practical and theoretical geography were at a low ebb between the conversion of the Empire and the Crusades; but they had in themselves great possibilities. The time of sowing must not disappoint us if it fail to give a crop: in the age of the making of the modern nations we cannot expect the discovering instinct to show much activity. But if we wish to gain a proper understanding of the development of European Christendom upon the surface of the earth, we must begin with the origins. And these we find, as far as are necessary for our purpose, in the pilgrim-travellers and convent-maps and religious science of the centuries between Constantine and our own English Alfred.
