-----
This 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 dc Montalembert, and by his disciple and companion Dominican, Pere Chocarne. 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.
