Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Martyr of Our Own Day: The Life and Letters of Just De Bretenieres, Martyred in Corea, March 8, 1866
Fathers Beaulieu and Dorie - Just's companions in martyrdom - have already given such information to the public. But a biography should be sufficient in itself and because of this it is not to be supposed that the reader of this book should have before him works relating to the same subject. Necessity, then, has led us toward the end of this volume, into some historical digressions - a fault against art, perhaps, but pardon able because of our desire to inform our readers on points intimately connected with the story of the life we are narrating.
