Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Meditations and Discourses on the Sublime Truths and Important Duties of Christianity It is unnecessary to dwell upon the pecaliar merits of the works of the truly leaned and pious Alban Butler. They form in themselves their best eulogium. Clear, solid, and powerful - not in loftiness of speech nor in the fanciful language of the human understanding; but, in the spirit and wisdom of God, they explain the doctrines, and maintain the morality of the Church, in terms fitted to the lowest, as well as to the highest capacity. His "Lives of the Saints" have been justly styled "An Encyclopedia of religious knowledge." His work on "The Feasts, Fasts, and other Annual Observances of the Catholic Church" (recently printed by the publisher in a manner, it is hoped, worthy of such a treasure), is a complete introduction to the "Lives of the Saints," and a masterpiece of learning and piety. The "Meditations and Discourses," here presented to the public, have ever obtained the highest commendations of all Catholic bishops and pastors. Finding that the work has become very scarce, and most expensive, and that a new edition has been long wished for, the publisher has deemed it desirable to present the whole, in one handsome volume, elegantly printed on good paper, and at a very moderate price. Considerable pains have been taken to preserve the accuracy of the highly gifted Author; and, at the same time, to avoid those errors of the press - always attending numerous editions.
