A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Life of the holy Founder of the Community and Seminary of St. Sulpice is grounded almost entirely on the great work of the Abbe Faillon, which may justly be styled one of the most complete and exhaustive biographies which were ever written. That work was first published in two volumes, but was subsequently extended by the author into three; and it is on the lines of this enlarged edition that the present Life has been constructed. In utilising the materials so abundantly provided, the writer, while abridging or condensing some of the numerous extracts from M. Olier swritings which admitted of compression, or incorporating the substance of them in the narrative, has proceeded uniformly on the plan of giving all interesting details, whether historical or per sonal, and has not unfrequently introduced into the body of the work some of the striking traits contained in the copious notes with which M. Faillon svolumes are furnished. To represent the man and his mission in the world, to bring out in full relief the idea with which he was possessed and the principles by which he was guided, has been his main endeavour; he has, moreover, made it a special object to preserve what constitutes an attractive feature in the original work, the notices of M. Olier scontemporaries, many of whom were persons not only distinguished for eminent spiritual attainments, but favoured with high supernatural gifts, and has been careful to retain all such incidental particulars as serve to illustrate the state of religion in France and what may be called the religious habits of society at the time.
