Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Essays on Various Subjects, Vol. 1 of 6: By His Eminence, Cardinal Wiseman
IE I owe any apology to my readers for publish ing this series of unconnected papers and essays, I must be content to plead the request of many friends, and frequent applications from strangers, to have such a collection made. For, although much of what is now printed with my name origin ally appeared anonymously, and under the shelter of editorial responsibility, its authorship has been pretty generally known, and never disavowed. This is not uncommon in reviews; and yet there is a convenience in the advantages of such a posi tion for it enables the writer to speak with a con fidence, and sometimes with a boldness, from which he would shrink, if he spoke in his own person, and not as the representative of certain principles, embodied in a collective responsibility.
