This edition is published in cooperation with The O.P. Prayer Apostolate.
Originally published in 1909, the following pages on St. Dominic and his spirit, as embodied in the Order which he founded, were written in the form of letters-and there are ten of them-to an inquiring young friend, by the Very Rev. Père Duchaussoy, O.P. With his kind permission, they have been translated from the French, in which they were originally written, by the Rev. Fr. Bede Jarrett , B.A., S.T.L., of the same Order.
To these letters another-as an appendix-has been added, at my suggestion, by the pen of a Sister of the Congregation of Siena, whose motherhouse is at Stone, on the life, spirit, and work of the nuns of the Second and Third Orders, the first-born children of St. Dominic. A Chapter will also be found on Tertiaries living in the world.
A few editorial notes have also been added. It is hoped that this brochure will meet a long felt want in the Dominican literature of the three English-speaking Provinces, answering, as it does, briefly and succinctly, certain questions often put to the members of the Order of both sexes in the three countries in which the English tongue prevails. —Foreword by Fr. John Procter, O.P.

Père Paul Duchaussoy here answers the fundamental questions that young men have asked about Saint Dominic’s Order of Preachers for over 800 years. Virtually all things Dominican—the saints, prayer, study, contemplation, and preaching—are summarized in these pages with wise and charming simplicity. This small book, thus, explains the transformation that follows upon a man’s religious consecration to the truth. Sincere readers cannot help but finish this book with the precious realization: God is worth a life. —Cajetan Cuddy, O.P., Dominican House of Studies, Washington, D.C.
I welcome the re-publication of The Dominicans. It offers a concise, enthusiastic and inspiring account of both the Order's history and of the perennial Dominican ideal, as well as interesting insights into the condition of the English-speaking provinces a century ago. —Thomas Crean, O.P., St Dominic's Priory, London
