Book Description

Excerpt from The Victory of Faith Life who is there naturally enough the centre of the group, have they, in not a few cases wished to know more of those by whom her mind was more or less guided, who influenced her as much as, or more than, she influenced them, to whom She herself looked from the first day on which She learned to know them with reverence and admiration. What, they have asked, was the teaching in which that refined intellect and loving soul found rest? Was this peaceful and devout life the outcome of influences which have sometimes been described as tending to the subversion of the faith? IS our knowledge of that goodly company complete, so long as he who formed its true centre is known to us only at second hand - SO long as we see him only by a reflected light with more or less of Shadowy indistinctness? That this has been more or less widely felt, the inquiries which have been ad dressed (as I am informed by him) to the author of the Memorials as to the republication of his uncle's works is a sufficient proof. Circumstances having placed in my hands the responsibility of meeting or refusing to meet the want thus expressed, I have decided as the appearance of the present volume Shows, on the former alternative. It will be followed, in due course, by the Mission of the Comforter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
