Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Humanity, Its Destiny and the Means to Attain It: A Series of Discourses
Out of profound respect for the author I have adhered closely to his mode of expression, in order to give as correctly as possible his own weighty ideas, especially so since it is well known that many of the thoughts contained herein were afterwards utilized and dilated upon by the late and learned Pope Leo XIII, in some of his magnificent Encyclicals.
The stupendous knowledge, the historical, philo sophical and theological rectitude of the author of these discourses, merited for him and obtained a much deserved acknowledgment from the greatest universi ties and learned societies of the scholarly world. While on his way to England to receive the honorary doctorate from the university of Cambridge, he died suddenly on June 10, 1905, at Munich, in his sixty first year. His premature death was an irreparable loss, not only to the great Dominican order, whose most loyal son he ever was, and to the Catholic Church in general, but to the world at large, to every sincere and learned searcher after truth.
