Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters From Rome, Vol. 2 of 2: On the Occasion of the OEcumenical Council, 1869-1870 I witnessed yesterday the assembling and the separating of the Council, the former as I stood on the Bridge of St. Angelo, the latter at the door of the Council Hall. There are those who think it undignified thus to look on, but it is necessary to sacrifice oneself sometimes. The Council is a fact of some importance, and deserves to be seen with the mind´s eye, if not otherwise. The Fathers are now late to arrive, and are fast dropping off long before the sitting is over. At ten minutes to nine, under a most ungenial sky - not frost, because it rained, and little rain because it was so cold - half a mile of bishops and cardinals were rattling up with a roar of carriage-wheels; the walking bishops, primates, and patriarchs drawing up every half minute into the doorways to escape immolation. Long after noon I entered St. Peter´s. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
