The Dominicans: Letters to a Young Man on the Dominican Order (Paperback or Softback)

Originally published in 1909, the following pages on St. Dominic and his spirit, as embodied in the Order which he founded, were written in the form of letters-and there are ten of them-to an inquiring young friend, by the Very Rev. Père Duchaussoy, O.P. With his kind permission, they have been translated from the French, in which they were originally written, by the Rev. Fr. Bede Jarrett, B.A., S.T.L., of the same Order.

To these letters another-as an appendix-has been added, at my suggestion, by the pen of a Sister of the Congregation of Siena, whose motherhouse is at Stone, on the life, spirit, and work of the nuns of the Second and Third Orders, the first-born children of St. Dominic. A Chapter will also be found on Tertiaries living in the world.

A few editorial notes have also been added. It is hoped that this brochure will meet a long felt want in the Dominican literature of the three English-speaking Provinces, answering, as it does, briefly and succinctly, certain questions often put to the members of the Order of both sexes in the three countries in which the English tongue prevails. -Foreword by Fr. John Procter, O.P.
