Description:Excerpt from The History of the Catholic Church in Prince Edward Island: From 1835 Till 1891 In presenting the following pages to the reading public, I am not unmindful of the reception accorded my former volume: 'The Early History of the Catholic Church in Prince Edward Island." My experience in that connection taught me, that there are many well-meaning people, who in reading history, look rather for a fervid panegyric of persons than for a plain statement of facts, and the mental attitude of such with regard to an historian is not so much to inquire into the truth of what he lays down, as to find motives for the statements he makes. I have no doubt that the same spirit may, in some cases at least, influence the judgment that will not fail to be pronounced upon the present volume. This consideration however, did not deter me from telling the truth precisely as I found it. I have conscientiously endeavored to follow the sequence of events without favor or bias, knowing that no good cause can suffer by being painted in its true colors, and that no people need, fear the verdict passed on them by a truthful historian. All that the Catholic Church needs in any age or in any country is to be known exactly as she is. She courts the fullest investigation, since by that alone can the outside world become acquainted with her policy, and learn the true bearing of her action on the affairs of men. This I have endeavored to accomplish in the present volume, with regard to the events that mark the history of the Catholic Church in Prince Edward Island from the year 1835 down to the year 1891. How far I have succeeded time alone will tell. Confiding however, in the charity of the reading public I have launched this frail bark, trusting that it may float securely on the uncertain sea of literature, avoiding on the one hand the Scylla of national prejudice, and on the other the Charybdis of literary criticism.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
