Synopsis

Excerpt from Clerical Colloquies: Essays and Dialogues on Subjects Sacerdotal When a performer on the public or private stage, having sung his song, delivered his monologue, or played his solo on piano or violin, makes his bow to his audience and retires behind the scenes, he is naturally interested in the quantity and quality of the plaudits that greet his effort. His wish being father to his thought, it sometimes happens that he mistakes a brief round of perfunctory applause for a genuine recall, and forthwith responds with an unsolicited encore. In much the same way an author may misinterpret the generous praise lavished on his first work as a demand on the part of his readers for the publication of a second one; and I am possibly presumptuous in calling this book a sort of encore more or less justified by the critical handclappings which greeted a volume of similar scope published in 1914. Yet the assurances received from scores of ecclesiastical dignitaries, that the volume in question is really worth while and calculated to do not a little good, may well excuse one's ambition to make another venture in the same field, especially as these assurances have been corroborated by the Catholic press in reviews, of which the following extracts - the first from America, the second from the London Tablet - are typical: ..".The kind of book of which you say at once that no one can afford to be without it; certainly no priest or clerical student. A nice combination of humor and common sense and the wisdom of experience." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
