This
book
appeals
in
a
peculiar
manner
to
Catholic
hearts
throughout
the
world,
coming,
as
it
does,
with
the
approba-
tion,
encouragement,
and
blessing
of
the
Holy
Father,
and
written
from
an
authentic

his

is
of
no
less
interest
to
the
general
reader.
Emanating
from
the
high
authority
and
with
the
approval
of
the
Pope,
it
can but
echo
the
sentiments
of
the
Vatican
on
the
leading
topics
of
religious
thought,
and
the
vital
social
questions
which
are
agitating
the
whole
world
at
the
present
time.
The
life
of
such
a
man
is
necessarily
invested
with
commanding
interest
for
every
student
of
contemporary
history,
and
light
upon
it
will
be
welcomed
as
eagerly
by
those
who
see
in
him
only
a
prime
political
and
social
factor
as
by
those
who
hold
his
office
in
veneration.

and
of
the past
from
which
the
present
has
sprung.
