{Transcriber's Note: This book is commonly known as "The Baltimore
Catechism No. 1" and is part of a four volume e-text collection. See
the author's note to Baltimore Catechism No. 3 for the background and
purpose of the series. Please note that there are gaps in the numbering,
and some questions are out of order, because Catechism No. 1 is
essentially an abridgement of Catechism No. 2. There are also minor
phrasing differences in some of the questions and answers of this text
compared with No. 2. This e-text collection is substantially based on
files generously provided by http://www.catholic.net/ with some missing
material transcribed and added for this release. Transcriber's notes in
this series are placed within braces, and usually prefixed "T.N.:".}
