Excerpt from Henri Dominique Lacordaire: A Biographical SketchThis sketch of a great man and his career has been framed entirely upon his own writings - his Conferences and others - the contemporary literature, and the two Memoirs of him published by his dearest friend the Comte de Montalembert, and by his disciple and companion Dominican, Pére Chocarme. I have aimed only at producing as true and as vivid a portrait of Lacordaire as lay in my power, believing that at all times, and specially such times as the present, such a study must tend to strengthen the cause of Right, the cause of true Liberty, above all, of Religious Liberty.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
