Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Cardinal Vaughan, Vol. 1 There were many among Cardinal Vaughan´s friends who thought that the Press appreciations at the time of his death were not only inadequate, but astray. His public work was appraised highly, but the general impression appeared to be that he was hard, and unsympathetic, - an estimable but rather narrow-minded prelate whose career had been redeemed from mediocrity chiefly by the unusual energy which had directed it. It was a view which was shared to the full by many of his own flock, and by some even of his own clergy. Yet it took no account of essential qualities - qualities which endeared Herbert Vaughan to those who knew him best. The romance of his character, its tenderness, its strange humility, its utter unworldliness, and its high spirituality - all seemed to pass unnoticed. It was hard for his friends to acquiesce in such a verdict as final. To one at least there came a wild wish to do something to lift the veil of misunderstanding, to write a record which should show him to the world as he was. It was a foolish thought, and I have long ago recognised the task as hopelessly beyond my powers. And yet - I think it has been accomplished.
