The Life of Saint Philip Neri, Apostle of Rome, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Life of Saint Philip Neri, Apostle of Rome, Vol. 1In this translation I have not ventured to change, seldom and slightly to compress. The portrait is by a master; it would be hazardous to meddle with one touch of his hand. It is, Speaking under correction, so faithful that it may seem to smack somewhat too strongly of its native soil. But it is well we should feel as we read that we have before us the thoughts of an Italian mind, serene, luminous, and subtle, and the rich feeling of a Neapolitan heart, expressed in warm and sympathetic words.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
