Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Monks of the West, Vol. 5 of 6: From St. Benedict to St. Bernard During the years which preceded 1848, M. de Montalembert had prepared an Introduction to the "Life of St. Bernard," which it was his intention to write after the "Life of St. Elizabeth." This Introduction, which would have been in two volumes, was intended, according to the idea of the author, to make known "the real character of the Monastic Orders, and the work they had accomplished for the Catholic world, before St. Bernard had attained the highest place in the esteem and admiration of contemporary Christendom." Almost the whole of the first volume was printed and ready for publication when the Revolution of February imposed other labours on M. de Montalembert, and plunged his countrymen into political turmoils little compatible with the studious calm of history. It was therefore resolved, by common consent of the author and publisher, to defer the publication to a season of less public excitement. Four years after, when the establishment of the Empire had sent back M. de Montalembert to more leisurely occupations, it was his desire to resume his interrupted work: he submitted it "to the judgment of Monsignor Dupanloup, Bishop of Orleans, and did not find it satisfactory." These are his own words. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
