Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selections From the Sermons of Padre Agostino Da Montefeltro The reputation of Padre Agostino da Montefeltro, as a preacher, has, if possible, increased since the first selection was made from his sermons and offered, in the form of a translation, to the English people at the close of the year 1887. The reception which the sermons met with from all classes, which must be wholly ascribed to the simplicity, pathos, and eloquence of their original conception, has encouraged the translator, again at the special request of Viscountess Ossington, to prepare another series of translations from the discourses preached during last Lent in the Church of San Carlo al Corso, at Rome. It is the first duty of the translator, on this, as on the previous occasion, to state that the sermons have never been revised by the author himself; that they do not pretend to be more than selections from the course delivered by Padre Agostino; that the translations are made now, as in the first instance, from the same source - the broad sheets of the newspapers which were hawked about the streets, and bought up in thousands within a few hours of the delivery of the sermon they reported in their daily columns. But there is a certain security for the veracity of these reports, because, when the same sermon has been preached twice or thrice at different places - Florence, Turin, and Rome - and reported at these different places by three different newspapers, a comparison of the various reports will show scarcely any variation in the sermons. There may be a different form of introduction, a paragraph transposed here and there, or a different method of illustration; but the main line of argument is always the same - almost word for word; and this is no despicable testimony, not only to the accuracy of the reports, but also to an extraordinary effort of memory on the part of the preacher.
