The only unabridged edition of the works of the Saint. No name is more familiar now to the pious reader than that of the holy Bishop of St. Agatha, the doctor of the eighteenth century; the man marked by Divine Providence to exercise in our days a special influence over the whole Church of God. He wrote and labored, not for one circumscribed kingdom, but for the universe; not for one rank or class, but for all. Rich and poor, learned and unlettered, all are instructed by him in the practice of the Christian virtues proper to their respective states; but above all, by what may be called his particular gift, are led to the most tender love of our Lord Jesus Christ and of his Blessed Mother, and to the true spirit of prayer. Many of his works have appeared in an abridged form; all are now here first given in English. Voluine L-Price 63 Cents. The Christian Virtues, and the Means of Obtaining them. CONTENTS: i.
