Excerpt from Clerical Studies The present volume is a re-issue, with slight alternation, of a series of articles originally printed in the American Ecclesiastical Review. During the course of their publication, a wish to see them, when completed, put together in book form reached the writer so frequently and from so many quarters, that he deems it only proper to act on the suggestion, and accept the gratifying assurance that, in this new and more accessible form, his observations on ecclesiastical studies will prove serviceable to a still wider circle of readers. Those he has had chiefly in view form two classes: young men in training for the priesthood, and young priests who have gone forth, as all must do, imperfectly equipped for their work, but having it in their power, during the early years of their ministry, to make up for what is still wanting. Yet he is not without hopes that many of his remarks will prove acceptable to those of maturer years who, in the midst of their active labors, happily continue to cultivate their minds, and keep in touch with the progressive thought of the period. Indeed, it would be his wish to help in awakening a like disposition in the whole body of the clergy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
