"I will say, sincerely, that I think it even more valuable, and more interesting, than your book on the Blessed Eucharist, that has done so much good, and is liked so much by pious souls. More than this it cannot be needed to say; but I will add that, in my poor judgment at least, it is so desirable to have it _speedily_ published, that I wish the angels may _tickle the lungs_ of any one that, beyond what is necessary, delays its production. "Affectionately and humbly yours, "JAMES A. McMASTER. "_New York_, May 19, 1871." THE GOLDEN RULE; OR, THE BOOK FOR ALL. Price, $2.00. * * * * * [_From the "Boston Pilot," Nov. 25, 1871._] "The author of this excellent work is the Rev. Michael Müller, C.S.S.R.--a name deservedly held in great esteem in the Catholic community. We shall not praise the author for his eminent qualities, for we do not wish to give him pain. But of his work, which we have carefully examined, we must say that it will compare favorably with Rodriguez, Nigronius, and Cassian. True, it is written for Superiors of Religious Communities, yet it will prove eminently useful to Pastors and Directors of Souls. Father Müller exhibits a knowledge of Religious and Ascetic Economy truly wonderful. We bespeak for this work a wide circulation. It is a book of that enticing class that, once taken up, it will not be laid down until read through, from A to Z. Dry as the subject may appear, it is so handled that the _Utile Dulci_ must needs be felt by all readers. Again we thank Father Müller for this new addition he has given to the stock of our American Catholic Literature and profitable reading. "REV. FATHER FINOTTI." [_From the "New York Freeman's Journal."_] "This book will be very valuable to Superiors of Religious Houses, for whom it is primarily intended. But it is the book, also, for a great many others. It is a book for Catholic Pastors of parishes--for they have governmental responsibility of souls. It is a book for priests who sit in the Confessional, for these, too, have to deal with all sorts of temperaments and of characters. But it is a book, also, for _Catholic parents_--for these, by Divine order, have the care and responsibility for the right training of their children." * * * * * [_From the "Pittsburgh Catholic."_] "This is a work which will be very acceptable to the Superiors of Religious Orders. In a clear and forcible manner the reverend author has laid before us the awful responsibility, with its trials and consolations, which rests on the shoulders of all those who are called to rule and direct the various characters that enter the religious state.
