Book Description
Excerpt from Modern Hagiology, Vol. 1: An Examination of the Nature and Tendency of Some Legendary and Devotional Works, Lately Published Under the Sanction of the Rev. J. H, Newman, the Rev. Dr. Pusey, and the Rev. F. Oakley The following pages, which originally appeared, in a somewhat different form, in The British Magazine, are now reprinted, with no other alterations in the text, than such as appeared necessary in order to render my meaning more distinctly understood. With the same intention, I have thought it advisable to introduce a few additional sentences; and, in one or two cases, passages from the books under consideration, which I had omitted to notice in the Magazine, have been inserted under their proper heads. These alterations, however, as I have already stated, affect my work no further than to make my meaning plainer; since, on the most careful consideration, I have found no reason to retract anything which I had originally said. On the contrary, the events of the last few weeks, have given but too sad a confirmation to the views I had taken of a movement, which has left such fearful memorials of the erroneous principles on which it was undertaken and conducted.
