Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Life and Labors of Most Rev. John Joseph Lynch, D.D: Cong; Miss., First Archbishop of Toronto The writing of a preface is usually a mere conformity to one of the conventionalities of literature; but in the present instance a few words may not be out of place, to explain the apparent anomaly of writing a man´s life while he is still living. Such biographies, although not common, are not without precedent, and we think the publication of the following pages will be justified by the peculiar circumstances under which they were prepared. To explain these, some personal details must be pardoned. On the approach of the twenty-fifth anniversary of Archbishop Lynch´s elevation to the Episcopal See of Toronto - which, as it will be remembered, was made the occasion of a grand demonstration in December of last year - the writer was requested by a number of His Grace´s friends and admirers to prepare a short sketch of his life, to be published for that occasion. This he agreed to do, providing the Archbishop´s consent could be obtained, which proved a rather difficult matter. His Grace raised numerous objections to such a publication, chief among which was that he did not consider himself individually of such importance in the Church as to warrant the writing of his life, and that the appearance of such a volume during his lifetime, and with his consent, might lay him open to the imputation of assuming a position in the Church in Canada, to which, on his personal merits, he could lay no claim. His friends, however, were not prepared to take this view of the matter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
