Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Three Sisters of Lord Russell of Killowen and Their Convent Life In the second quarter of the nineteenth century there were born to Arthur and Margaret Russell, of Newry and Killowen, six children: Mary (1825-1838), Elizabeth (1827-1876), Katherine (1829-1898), Sarah (1831- 1902), Charles (1832-1900), and Matthew (1834-?). The first to come was also the first to go, in her childhood; the last arrival has not yet departed. The three who lived to womanhood became Sisters of Mercy. Why, then, is not this book in three parts instead of two? Because the form of it and the title were chosen after these two sketches were written. The eldest sister might well have had a little monograph of her own, for she was a very interesting and winsome personality, though her shorter life and her lingering death did not allow her to do such important work for God as He deigned to ask from her younger sisters. In the accounts of Katherine and Sarah Russell much will be said about Elizabeth Russell, as also about the brother of whom they were so proud and so fond. In venturing to tell the uneventful story of these Irish Sisters of Mercy, I have thought it well to link their unknown names with the well-known name of a man who, while showing himself to the end very emphatically a Catholic Irishman, played a prominent part in the public life of England in the closing years of the nineteenth century.
