Présentation de l'éditeur
His EMINENCE JOHN HENRY CARDINAL NEWMAN. My Lord Cardinal, It is to me a subject of very grateful satisfaction t Jiat I am allowed to dedicate this volume on S. Peter s Roman Episcopate to your Eminence, not only on account ofyoiir exalted dignity, which, by associating you with the Sovereign Pontiff in the Sacred College, brings nigh to us, in your person, the supreme pastorate of our Holy Father Leo the Thirteenth ;but also, and especially, because it is mainly through your life long work and influence that the mind and heart of England if not yet drawn into sympathy with the Catholic Church and the Chair of Peter have at least been led to kindlier sentiments in that direction, and to lay aside much of old-standing prejudice and antipathy towards the ancient Faith. It must be most consoling to your Eminence, at your venerable age, to feel that, after so many long past years of combat and misunderstanding, you have succeeded in winning for your self not alone the esteem and confidence, but also, I may say, the affection, perhaps more than any living man, of your countrymen at large.
