Excerpt from The Principles of the Religious Life: Or an Explication of the Catechism of the Vows
Other authors have treated this same subject, but the works of only a few of them are accessible to American readers, nor have they all the clearness, the accuracy and brevity that distinguish the production of the Rev. Father Cotel. These qualities have made his book so popular in France that it has passed through several editions and won for it unstinted praise from most competent judges.
