Letters to a Roman Catholic Priest

These papers are personal letters addressed to a parish priest of the Church of Borne, Father A. M. S.—, whose acquaintance I made on a railway journey, and with this cultured gentleman it was a pleasure to converse. When we parted, he accepted from me a little volume dealing with a portion of Holy Scripture, concerning which he afterwards wrote me a very appreciative letter. Our correspondence was interrupted by illness on my part, which for a long time hindered my again writing him. Of the earlier letters I kept no copies; but the latter ones were written in duplicate, and are now published with the hope that they may prove helpful to the reader.
