Description
Excerpt from Life of St. Dominic: A Sketch of the Dominican Order, With an Introduction
The fragrance of his sanctity fills the entire garden of the Church, and all within its holy precincts acknowledge his virtues, even without pausing to learn the peculiar causes of his distinction, while those without hear nothing but the foul reports of such as never saw him, never held any kind of communication with his associates, but who derived all their knowledge of St. Dominic from those who wrongly judged him.
England was not the last in joining in this hasty ver dict, elicited from incompetent testimony nor is she the last in re-opening the case, setting aside all unqualified evidence, - nay, in arraigning before the majesty of reason and of truth the faithful contemporary eye-witnesses of the Saint, and in giving to the world, as the result of most careful and impartial scrutiny, the true life of St. Dominic, of which this is a mere republication.
