Of making many books there is no end." True, but if the world multiplies books without number for indifferent and evil purposes, why should the children of Holy Church be less zealous in propagating books, which are written :Cor the noblest of ends, and upon subjects of the highest interest and utility? If learned men of the present age make such great endeavors to popularize theories of natural science, why should not ministers of religion ply the pen in explaining and inculcating the supernatural truths of Divine revelation? Among the teachings of Revelation there is one particularly of supreme importance and beauty; that, namely, of Divine Grace. Yet in the English, no less than in the German language, there exist but few works on this subject, and fewer still that are suited to the capacity of the people! The work, which is hereby offered to the English community, has for its author a very prominent Catholic theologian of Germany.It is written with his llabitual depth and fertility of thought, thoroughness of method, aptness or illustration. and extensive erudite learning. Its style breathes the author's own warm admiration for the subject he treats. and thus lends an additional charm and value to his exposition.All these reasons have determined the translator, though little confident in his own ability, to venture to place the book into the hands of English-speaking Christians. He has throughout confined himself, as much us possible, to the letter of the text. The author, when kindly giving his permission for the translation, asked to be recommended to the prayers of the reader.
