Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Recollections of Scottish Episcopalianism Some months ago I found in a second-hand book-shop two volumes on which I had not set eyes for more than a quarter of a century. One of these volumes was entitled "A Digest of the Doctrine of St. Thomas on the Sacraments. By William Humphrey, Missionary Priest in the Diocese of Brechin." The other volume was entitled "A Digest of the Doctrine of St. Thomas on the Incarnation." The title-page of this volume did not bear the name of any author. Hereby hangs a tale. The last sheets of this second volume were passing through the press when I was received into the Catholic Church. I could no longer describe myself on the title-page of it, either as in the first volume, or as "Incumbent of St. Mary Magdalene´s, Dundee" - a living which I had ceased to hold. It seemed to me, on the other hand, that it would be singularly unbecoming in one who was then sitting on the benches of the Roman College in statû pupillari to be, by giving my name as the author of this volume, posing as a teacher of the British public. The publication of the work was beyond my control, but, by the kindness of the publisher, it was allowed to appear as anonymous. The first copy of it reached me in Rome. The Preface to my volume on the Sacraments is dated from "St. Mary the Virgin, The Cove, near Aberdeen, N. B., Lent, 1867." This book was written among the fisher-folk. The Cove is a fishing village on the rock-bound coast of Kincardineshire, four miles south of Aberdeen. It is one of a long line of fishing villages which fringe the north-eastern coast of Scotland, a coast which is washed by the German Ocean. The salt sea rolls between it and the coasts of Scandinavia, and the fishers are for the most part sprung from Scandinavian ancestors.
