Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Letter to the Rev. E. B. Pusey, D. D: On His Recent Eirenicon
Light, with a feeling that in them I had more than all that I had lost, and, as though I were directly addressing the glorious saints, who bequeathed them to the Church, I said to the inanimate pages, You are now mine, and I am now yours, beyond any mistake. Such, I conceive, would be the joy of the persons I speak of, if they could wake up one morning, and find themselves possessed by right of Catholic traditions and hopes, without violence to their own sense of duty - and, certainly, I am the last man to say that such violence is in any case lawful, that the claims of conscience are not para mount, or that any one may overleap what he deliberately holds to be God's command, in order to make his path easier for him or his heart lighter.
