Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Recollections of Rome and Other Places: Epoch of the Vatican Council 1869-70 His Lordship The Right Reverend E. J. Horan, Bishop of Kingston, having been summoned by the Sovereign Pontiff Pius IX. - of blessed memory - to the (Ecumenical Council of the Vatican, most graciously invited me to accompany him to Rome - an invitation, it is unnecessary to say, as cheerfully accepted as it was graciously given. We reached the Eternal City toward the end of November, 1869. I left for home about the last days of April. During my stay of five months at the centre of Catholicity, I had ample opportunity - and under the most favorable auspices - to visit, time and again, the great monuments of ancient and modern Rome. My excursions were almost daily; and I enjoyed the rare privilege of such a companion as His Lordship, perfectly conversant with the City of the Popes. In my rambles, I noted down the more interesting objects, that they might be more vividly remembered On my return to Canada, they were found instructive: I was urged to put them into print. I hesitated, knowing how often, how graphically - and how much better than I could hope to do - these things had been described already.
