Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Irenics and Polemics: With Sundry; Essays in Church History This historical essay, written at Geneva, was published in Macmillan´s Magazine, London, for September, 1878, and has since been reissued as a pamphlet at Lausanne, Switzerland, with the consent both of author and of publishers. On its first appearance, it was the subject of very serious attention in England and America, from critics of very different schools. The London Academy declared it to be "one of the most telling and vigorous pieces of historical criticism that we have met with for a long time," and concluded, "in a word, this article is one which the apologists of St. Francis and his ´sweetness´ will do well to answer. If they pass it by, the world may well be excused for believing that it is unanswerable." In like manner, the London Church Times, from the opposite point of view, representing the party that has been devoted to the cult of St. Francis, recognized the seriousness of the Issue, and came to the same conclusion, "unless Mr. Bacon´s article is answered, we shall have to give up St. Francis de Sates." Well, more than sixteen years have passed, and the article is still "unanswered because unanswerable;" but we are still waiting for indications that this prostrate and discredited idol, so "Lopp´d, maim´d and battered on the grundsel edge," is any the less an object of veneration to its English votaries.
