The Sermons Lectures And Speeches Delivered PDF Download

Excerpt from The Sermons, Lectures, and Speeches Delivered by His Eminence Cardinal Wiseman, Archbishop of Westminster, During His Tour in Ireland: In August and September, 1858, With His Lecture Delivered in London on the "Impressions" Of His Tour It was a kind thought of others that prompted the publication of this volume. When the events were over of which it is a record, when the little had been said and done that, at the time, attracted some attention, there was no other idea than to let them drop into the current of the past, and be remembered or forgotten as chance might direct. It was, however, resolved, without any participation of the author's in the design, to collect the fragments of what to him had been a "feast of soul," and preserve them, however little worthy of such an honour. This being determined on, he felt that he could not commit to any other revision than his own, what he had spoken. The short-hand writers' notes, however able, from which it had to be published, were necessarily inaccurate; and he felt it would be unfair to reprint them without accurate correction.
