Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lives and Legends of English Saints In presenting to the public this treatise on the "Lives and Legends of English Saints," which is intended to form a prelude to further volumes on the holy men and women belonging to the other parts of the United Kingdom, I should like to say a few words, first as to its title and arrangement, and lastly as to its subject. I am well aware that there are many persons who will accept the life of a Saint with comparative readiness, but who will exclaim in horror at the credulity of those who can accept a legend or a miracle. And yet their attitude, in my humble opinion at least, appears somewhat irrational. I naturally do not wish to imply that every - I might almost say any - legend is to be accepted without reserve, but I would affirm that almost every legend contains some germ at least of truth, in that it indicates - though often in an allegorical form some characteristic of the Saint in question, or, more rarely, a poetical exposition of some familiar truth of Holy Scripture.
