Synopsis

REVEREND JOHN FURNISS C.S.S.R COLLECTION [5 BOOKS] John Furniss was an English Roman Catholic priest, known for his mission to children. His father was a wealthy master-cutler. He was educated at Sedgley Park School, St Mary's College, Oscott, and Ushaw College, where he became a priest in 1834. He was resident priest at Doncaster for five years, but his health having given way he travelled during eight years through Europe and the East.He spent his spare time writing books for children in simple language. His chief works are The Sunday-School Teacher and God and His creatures, which has been published in French. He wrote a scathing answer to an attack on his works by the Saturday Review. His writings were assailed as "infamous publications" by the rationalist historian William Edward Hartpole Lecky in his History of European Morals, chiefly on account of the somewhat lurid eschatology of the children's books.More than four millions of his booklets were sold. —BOOKS— CONFESSION GOD AND HIS PERFECTIONS THE GREAT EVIL THE GREAT QUESTION THE SIGHT OF HELL PUBLISHER: AETERNA PRESS
