diameter becomes smaller, the practice of GC, SFC, and HPLC be-
comes more similar. Table 1 compares some· functiomil aspects of
capillary GC, .capillary SFC, and micro-HPLC as practiced today.
It points out many common features and the potential for the prac-
tice of a unified microbore column chromatography, that is, the use
of the same injector, detector, column, and system components for
applications in capillary GC, SFC, or micro- HPLC. Current column
technology and detector advances will undoubtedly make microbore
column chromatography a unified approach for the generation of
total chromatographic information for an unknown sample.
Microbore column chromatography is growing rapidly. Us de-
velopment and advances in instrumentation, column technology, and
applications a~e vast. Detailed discussions of various aspects ·of
microbore column chromatography are given by many contributing
authors in the subsequent chapters. A brief introduction of state-
of.,.the-art ~apillary GC, SFC, and micro-HPLC is given in the fol-
lowing sections.

INTRODUCTORY.
I n the year 410, Rome was captured and sacked by Alaric the
Visigoth. At this time, S. Jerome, in his cell at Bethlehem, was
labouring at his Commentaries on Ezekiel, while it was the downfall
of the imperial city which incited S. Augustine to begin the
composition of his greatest work, The City of God: “the greatest city
of the world has fallen in ruin, but the City of God abideth forever.”
The treatise required for its completion twenty-two books. “The
influence of France and of the printing-press,” remarks Hodgkin,
“have combined to make impossible the production of another De
Civitate Dei. The multiplicity of authors compels the controversialist
who would now obtain a hearing, to speak promptly and concisely.
The examples of Pascal and of Voltaire teach him that he must
speak with point and vivacity.”[1] S. Augustine was probably the most
voluminous writer of the earlier Christian centuries. He was the
author of no less than 232 books, in addition to many tractates or
homilies and innumerable epistles.[2] His literary work was continued
even during the siege of Hippo by the Vandals, and he died in Hippo
(in 431), in his seventy-sixth year, while the siege was still in
progress.
In regard to the lack of historical records of the time, I will again
quote Hodgkin, who, in his monumental work on Italy and Her
Invaders, has himself done so much to make good the deficiency: “It
is perhaps not surprising that in Italy itself there should have been
during the fifth century an utter absence of the instinct which leads
men to record for the benefit of posterity events which are going on
around them. When history was making itself at such breathless
speed and in such terrible fashion, the leisure, the inclination, the
presence of mind necessary for writing history might well be wanting.
He who would under happier auspices have filled up the interval
between the bath and the tennis court by reclining on the couch in
the winter portico of his villa and there languidly dictating to his slave
the true story of the abdication of Avitus, or the death of Anthemius,
was himself now a slave keeping sheep in the wilderness under a
Numidian sun or shrinking under the blows of one of the rough
soldiers of Gaiseric.”
Hodgkin finds it more difficult to understand “why the learned and
leisurely provincial of Greece, whose country for nearly a century
and a half (395-539) escaped the horrors of hostile invasion, and
who had to inspire them the grandest literary traditions in the world,
should have left unwritten the story of the downfall of Rome.”
“The fact seems to be,” he goes on to say, “that at this time all that
was left of literary instinct and historiographic power in the world had
concentrated itself on theological (we cannot call it religious)
controversy, and what tons of worthless material the ecclesiastical
historians and controversialists of the time have left us!... Blind, most
of them, to the meaning of the mighty drama which was being
enacted on the stage of the world ... they have left us scarcely a hint
as to the inner history of the vast revolution which settled the Teuton
in the lands of the Latin.... One man alone gives us that detailed
information concerning the thoughts, characters, persons of the
actors in the great drama which can make the dry bones of the
chronologer live. This is Caius Sollius Apollinaris Sidonius, man of
letters, imperial functionary, country gentleman, and bishop, who,
notwithstanding much manifest weakness of character and a sort of
epigrammatic dulness of style, is still the most interesting literary
figure of the fifth century.”[3]
Sidonius was born at Lyons, a.d. 430. His father, grandfather, and
great-grandfather had all served as Prætorian Prefects in Gaul, in
which province his own long life was passed. In 472, Sidonius
became Bishop of Arverni, and from that time, as he rather naïvely
tells us, he gave up (as unbecoming ecclesiastical responsibilities)
the writing of compositions “based on pagan models.” In 475, the
year before the last of the western emperors, Augustulus, was driven
from Rome by Odovacar,[4] the Herulian, the Visigoth king, Euric,
became master of Auvergne. Sidonius was at first banished, but in
479 was restored to his diocese, and continued his work there as
bishop and as writer until his death, ten years later. At the time of the
death of Sidonius, Cassiodorus, who was, during the succeeding
eighty years, to have part in so much of the eventful history of Italy,
was ten years old. There are some points of similarity in the careers
of the two men. Both were of noble family and both began their
active work as officials, one of the Empire, the other of the Gothic
kingdom of Italy, while both also became ecclesiastics. Each saw his
country taken possession of by a foreign invader, and for the
purpose of serving his countrymen, (with which purpose may very
possibly have been combined some motives of personal ambition,)
each was able and willing to make himself useful to the new ruler
and thus to retain official position and influence; and finally, both had
literary facility and ambition, and, holding in regard the works of the
great classic writers, endeavoured to model upon these works the
style of their own voluminous compositions. The political work of
Cassiodorus was of course, however, much the more noteworthy
and important, as Sidonius could hardly claim to be considered a
statesman.
In their work as authors, the compositions of Sidonius are, as I
judge from the description, to be ranked higher in literary quality than
those of the later writer, and to have been more successful also in
following the style of classic models. The style of Cassiodorus is
described as both verbose and grandiloquent. In his ecclesiastical,
or rather his monastic work, taken up after half a century of active
political life, it was the fortune of Cassiodorus, as will be described
later, to exercise an influence which continued for centuries, and
which was possibly more far-reaching than was exerted by the
career of any abbot or bishop in the later history of the Church.
The careers of both Sidonius and Cassiodorus have a special
interest because the two men held rather an exceptional position
between the life of the old empire which they survived and that of the
new Europe of the Middle Ages, the beginning of which they lived to
see.
Of the writings of Sidonius, Hodgkin speaks as follows: “A careful
perusal of the three volumes of the Letters and Poems of Sidonius
(written between the years 455 and 490) reveals to us the fact that in
Gaul the air still teems with intellectual life, that authors were still
writing, amanuenses transcribing, friends complimenting or
criticising, and all the cares and pleasures of literature filling the
minds of large classes of men just as when no empires were sinking
and no strange nationalities suddenly arising around them.... A long
list of forgotten philosophers did exist in that age, and their works,
produced in lavish abundance, seem to have had no lack of eager
students.”
As an example of the literary interests of a country gentleman in
Gaul, Hodgkin quotes a letter of Sidonius, written about 469: “Here
too [i. e. in a country house in Gaul] were books in plenty; you might
fancy you were looking at the breast-high book-shelves (plantei) of
the grammarians, or the wedge-shaped cases (cunei) of the
Athenæum, or the well-filled cupboards (armaria) of the booksellers.
I observed, however, that if one found a manuscript beside the chair
of one of the ladies of the house, it was sure to be on a religious
subject, while those which lay by the seats of the fathers of the
family were full of the loftiest strains of Latin eloquence. In making
this distinction, I do not forget that there are some writings of equal
literary excellence in both branches, that Augustine may be paired
off against Varro, and Prudentius against Horace. Among these
books, the works of Origen, the Adamantine, were frequently
perused by readers holding our faith. I cannot understand why some
of our arch-divines should stigmatise him as a dangerous and
heterodox author.”[5]
In summing up the work of Sidonius, Hodgkin points out the
noteworthy opportunities for making a literary reputation which were
missed by him. “He might have been the Herodotus of mediæval
