Présentation de l'éditeur
English, was born at Kornitz, in Moravia, May I, 1823. At the age of twenty he joined the Benedictine Abbey at Kremsminster, A ustria. After his ordination to the priesthood June 19, 1848, he was made assistant pastor successively in two large parishes, and in that position proved himself an eloquent orator, a parental friend of children, and a zealous and devoted con fessor. Six years later he was called to the chair of Pastoral Theology in the Seminary of St. Florian, which he filled most successfully for thirty-four years. As early as the year 1865 he issued a limited edition of his Pastoral Theology for the use of his pupils, and upon urgent appeals from bishops and priests reissued it in a more comprehensive form for the benefit of seminarians and priests in general. He had the pleasure of seeing it reach nine editions, and since his happy and holy death on January 9, 1893, three further editions have appeared to date. Of the many encomiums showered upon the work after each edition, let it suffice to quote one of recent date, that of the Acta Pontificia, Vol. I, Fasc.
