Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Late Hon. And Right Rev. Alexander Macdonell: First Catholic Bishop of Upper Canada, and (Incidentally) Of Other Old Residents of the Province Forty-eight years have elapsed since the close of Bishop Macdonell´s mortal career. His memory is still cherished by a few surviving friends, who, in the course of nature, must soon dis appear. Many notable events of the Bishop´s life will then be merely traditional. It is much to be regretted that an extended biography of so worthy a subject was not undertaken by a competent hand at an earlier period. Every year that glides by on its noiseless journey, increases now the difficulty of the historian. Had the writer foreseen forty years ago, that this labour of love would devolve upon him, provision for the emergency could easily have been made; but at this remote day, material, if abundant, is not available, and he has been forced to depend almost entirely upon his own resources. As a consequence, the sketch is little more than a compilation from brief obituary notices of the Bishop, interspersed with personal recollections. It first appeared in the Catholic Weekly Review, of this City, was copied into the London Catholic Record, also, into the Glengarrian, and has been noticed approvingly by other Provincial journals and by private correspondents. At the suggestion of an esteemed acquaintance, it is now published in a more permanent form, for the benefit of the local Society of St. Vincent de Paul. In the hope that his disjointed, rambling narrative may prove useful to some future historian of the Canadian Church, the writer, who has not wittingly transgressed the bounds of truth or propriety, craves pardon for his faults of what nature soever and concludes with a free translation of the words of the old Roman: "This work would have been better done by anybody than by me; by me, perhaps, better than by nobody."
