“_A book which contains the record of a life as sweet, pure, and
noble as any man by divine help, granted to devout sincerity of soul,
has been permitted to live upon earth. The example of this gentle
but resolute and energetic spirit, wholly dedicated to the highest
conceivable good, offering itself, with all the temporal uses of mental
existence, to the service of infinite and eternal beneficence, is
extremely touching.... It is a book worthy of acceptance._”――DAILY NEWS.
“_It is not a translation or adaptation, but an original work, and a
very charming portrait of one of the most winning characters in the
long gallery of Saints. And it is a matter of thankfulness to us to
find a distinctively Anglican writer setting forward the good Bishop’s
work among Protestants, as a true missionary task to reclaim souls from
deadly error, and bring them back to the truth._”――UNION REVIEW.
=THE SPIRIT OF S. FRANCIS DE SALES, BISHOP AND PRINCE OF GENEVA.=
Translated from the French by the Author of “The Life of S.
Francis de Sales,” “A Dominican Artist,” &c., &c. Crown 8vo.
6s.
=A SELECTION FROM THE SPIRITUAL LETTERS OF S. FRANCIS DE SALES,
BISHOP AND PRINCE OF GENEVA.= Translated by the Author of
“Life of S. Francis de Sales,” “A Dominican Artist,” &c. &c.
Crown 8vo. 6s.
“_It is a collection of epistolary correspondence of rare interest and
excellence. With those who have read the Life, there cannot but have
been a strong desire to know more of so beautiful a character as S.
Francis de Sales. He was a model of Christian saintliness and religious
virtue for all time, and one everything relating to whom, so great were
the accomplishments of his mind as well as the devotion of his heart,
has a charm which delights, instructs, and elevates._”――CHURCH HERALD.
“_A few months back we had the pleasure of welcoming the Life of S.
Francis de Sales. Here is the promised sequel:――the ‘Selection from
his Spiritual Letters’ then announced:――and a great boon it will be to
many. The Letters are addressed to people of all sorts:――to men and to
women:――to laity and to ecclesiastics, to people living in the world,
or at court, and to the inmates of Religious Houses. And what an idea
it gives one of the widely ramifying influence of one good man and
of the untiring diligence of a man, who in spite of all his external
duties, could find or make the time for all these letters. We hope that
with our readers it may be totally needless to urge such a volume on
their notice._”――LITERARY CHURCHMAN.
