Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cardinal Manning Nor did he then, or later, supply me with any substantial information; but he cleared up sundry points on which I should have been at fault without his assistance; and I wish to put on record here my vivid impression of his kindly, courteous manner, his dignity, earnestness, and patience. My book is thus almost wholly compiled from materials open to all who will take the trouble to consult them. I am aware that my numerous extracts from Manning´s own less accessible writings, from the comments of others upon his career, and even from newspaper reports, lay me open to unfavourable criticism; but I shall not complain if my critics also admit that my book is thus made better. It would have been easy for me to have written, at equal or even at greater length, an account of Manning´s life that should have excluded all such quotations; but the work would not then have had the character of authentic biography. Such a study from a competent hand has no doubt its value, when a trust worthy and full memoir has already appeared that can be appealed to as an authority. But in Manning´s case no such work exists, nor is likely to exist for many years to come. His biographer cannot refer to the familiar and luminous pages of an Apologia to illustrate his points. He is at liberty to assume very little previous knowledge on the part of his readers. What therefore I have here attempted is in the main a chronicle in brief, showing precisely what Manning said and what he did at such and such a time, and further what was thought and said about him by observers on the spot.
