Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Roll of Honour: Irish Prelates and Priests of the Last Century
I have read Over the sketch of Father Hand with 'great interest, and I'venture to commend it 'to the careful perusal of our ecclesiastical students of every grade. Many of them have to meet trials and troubles such as Father Hand met, and overcame in a noble Christian spirit; and I have no doubt that, in their own difficul ties and trials, they will find great encouragement and consolation in this record of a beautiful, godly life; which appears to me to be the very highest realization of the' glorious ideal set forth in the eight Beatitudes.
