Book Description
Excerpt from Francis of Assisi The principal events of the following history took place in the beginning of the thirteenth century, of which it seems advisable to give a slight sketch at the commencement, that the reader maybe able to place St. Francis'in his proper chronological place among those events and personages, which occupy a larger space in history than historians generally are willing to allow, to a man who wielded only a moral influence, and was nothing more than a reformer and a saint. This will be found all the more necessary that it has been the aim of the writer in the work itself, rather to follow, as far as modern custom and authentic facts permit, the simplicity of the popular legend than to attempt any elaborate historical picture.

Book Description
Excerpt from St. Francis of Assisi A sketch of St. Francis of Assisi in modem English may be written in one of three ways. Between these the writer must make his selection; and the third way, which is adopted here, is in some respects the most difficult of all. At least, it would be the most difficult if the other two were not impossible. First, he may deal with this great and most amazing man as a figure in secular history and a model of social virtues. He may describe this divine demagogue as being, as he probably was, the world's one quite sincere democrat. He may say (what means very little) that St. Francis was in advance of his age. He may say (what is quite true) that St. Francis anticipated all that is most liberal and sympathetic in the modem mood; the love of nature; the love of animals; the sense of social compassion; the sense of the spiritual dangers of prosperity and even of property. All those things that nobody understood before Wordsworth were familiar to St. Francis. All those things that were first discovered by Tolstoy had been taken for granted by St. Francis.

Excerpt from Assisi of Saint Francis The task of writing an historical sketch of Assisi is no light one, since the material at the disposition of the student is extremely voluminous. I have, except for the lives of St F ran cis and St Clare, chosen only a few episodes from the eventful, and somewhat monotonous story of the little city, episodes that appeared to me likely to prove interesting to the general reader.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Life of S. Francis of Assisi A very common failing amongst men is to adopt one extreme in the endeavor to avoid another, and sometimes not to perceive that the extreme into which they fall is greater than that which they had sought to flee from. TO insure themselves against weak incredulity, some have imbibed such prejudice against the miracles in the Lives Of the Saints, that they cannot endure to hear of them; the very ideas of miracles, revelations, ecstasies, visions, apparitions, are hateful and disgusting to them; all that is said on these subjects they look upon as fabulous and incredible they call in question the most undeniable evidence, or attribute these wonders to natural and unknown causes. The wonders which are recorded in the Life of St. Francis, afford an Opportunity of grappling with these prejudices: it must first be shown that they are unreasonable, of which here is the proof.
