Paperback. Etat : New. New; The problem of leading young minds to a realization and appreciation of the revealed word is solved most satisfactorily in the adoption of the story method. Every child instinctively loves a story. In gratifying this natural desire no narratives are more vivid, more appealing, and more valuable than those which graphically recount God's merciful dealings with mankind. To bring the child to an active and enthusiastic knowledge of the sublime facts in Bible History is to give him a glorious background upon which he will be eager to sketch out his own eternal destiny. Each brief event makes its own contribution of love and inspiration, strengthening the sense of religious responsibility in the child. The delightful simplicity of the presentation of the eternal inheritances of man cannot but make a direct appeal to Catholic educators! Nothing which his helpful has been overlooked or forgotten. The illustrations, 67 total, that crown each story is an attractive centre wherein the child will see in clear vision all that the story tells.…

Etat : New. 2009 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1820). SB.vii+147 ppPublished Price £8.50 Narrative of a Private Soldier in His Majesty's 92nd Regiment of Foot (1798-1801) is a rare and valuable early nineteenth-century memoir by George Billany, offering an unusually personal account of life as a rank-and-file soldier during some of the British Army's most demanding campaigns.Billany recounts his service during the Irish Rebellion of 1798, the arduous expedition to Holland in 1799 and the campaign in Egypt in 1801. His narrative provides a vivid picture of the realities of campaigning, from combat and harsh climates to inadequate provisions, logistical difficulties and the rigours of military discipline.Particularly valuable is the perspective of the ordinary soldier. Rather than concentrating solely on commanders and major battles, Billany records the daily hardships, routines and experiences of men serving in the ranks. His unvarnished observations offer a rare insight into the human experience of British military service during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Book.…

CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: "This exciting Civil War diary of a Redemptorist priest, Rev. James Sheeran, C.Ss.R., who was chaplain to the 14th Louisiana Regiment of the Confederacy, is a national treasure. Irish-born Sheeran (1817-1881) was one of only a few dozen Catholic chaplains commissioned for the Confederacy and one of only two who kept a journal. Highlighting his exploits from August 1, 1862 through April 24, 1865, the journal tells of all the major events of his life in abundant detail: on the battlefield, in the hospitals, and among Catholics and Protestants whom he encountered in local towns, on the trains, and in the course of his ministrations. His ideological sympathies clearly rest with the Confederacy. The tone is forthright, even haughty, but captures in sure and steady fashion, both the personality of the man and the events to which he was a witness, especially the major battles. The journal is arguably the most unique narrative of the war written by a chaplain of any denomination and certainly is the most extensive. The journal permits us to hear a voice in Civil War studies that is seldom heard—that of a Catholic clergyman. The window given into the pastoral dimension of serving in America's bloodiest war is further enhanced by a running commentary on politics, race, religion, and charitable works throughout the South. He also supplies an insight into incarceration as a prisoner of war at Fort McHenry, Baltimore. Last, because Sheeran was a frequent name dropper, tracking the movements of key military personnel or other personages of the war is made considerably easier through Sheeran's references—all of which have been scrupulously documented in an easy-to-use index.(Catholic University Press) REFERENCE: NEVINS I pg 157: "Outspoken comments on events in the Army of northern Virginia by the chaplain of the 14th Louisiana; the editorial work is choppy." $25.…
