"A Companion to Mr. Wells's 'Outline of History'" by Hilaire Belloc is a critical historical account written in the late 1920s. The work serves as a comprehensive analysis of H.G. Wells's popular historical narrative, aiming to highlight the significant errors and misrepresentations within it, particularly from a Catholic perspective. Belloc intends to arm Catholic readers against the conclusions of Wells, presenting an argument for the enduring significance of the Catholic Church in the context of modern secular challenges. At the start of the text, Belloc lays out his purpose and methodology, expressing concern that Wells's work, while widely circulated, embodies numerous errors that can mislead readers about historical truths. He emphasizes that the stakes are particularly high for those of the Catholic faith, as Wells's writings can disturb the faith of individuals who lack a solid grounding in historical and theological matters. Belloc critiques Wells’s treatment of creation, the nature of history, and specifically addresses modern philosophies that challenge traditional beliefs, indicating that he will provide an antidote to what he views as anti-Catholic propaganda through a better understanding of history and dogma.
