Excerpt from The Spirit of the Dominican Order: Illustrated From the Lives of Its Saints
With these explanations the reader will understand why the examples in which the volume so richly abounds are not invariably authenticated, why references are not given, why parts of the book bear the traces of another pen, and why the dates of the birth and death of those referred to have been added by another hand, whenever it has been possible to ascertain them.* It was not intended - nor is it now - that the incidents of Dominican family life, re corded in the spirit of childlike faith, should be committed to critical analysis, or be subjected to the ruthless dissecting knife of the incredulous student of history whose métier it is to cut away and reject as a useless if not dangerous excrescence all that does not clearly enter into the sinew and muscle and bone of the verified system of unassailable historical facts. The book must be read as it was written.
