Book Description
Excerpt from Lacordaire With this French gift, with this Divine gift, no one has been more richly endowed than Jean Baptiste Henri Lacordaire, with the exception, however, of Bossuet. But while Bossuet was a universal genius, superior in everything and by everything, -in eloquence, in controversy, in his tory, - Lacordaire was only an orator; perhaps, I dare to say, more of an orator than Bossuet, at least in this respect, that he had in a higher degree the tones that move, the voice that vibrates and charms, and the gesture which completes speech. Thus one can say of him that he is the type of the preacher, and in this capacity his place was marked out in advance in a series which would gather together all the literary glories of France.
