Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Venerable Mother Frances Schervier, Foundress of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Poor of St. Francis: A Sketch of Her Life and Character
Biography will ever be the most popular form for acquiring knowledge of virtue, just as experimental philosophy is the only practical way to interest, in deeper study, the average mind. The formal text book of science may be a mine of intellectual wealth, but its abstruse terms and recondite methods make its study a laborious task. Put the boy in the class of an enthusiastic professor, who with wealth of illustration brings home to his gaze, as well as to his intellect, the entrancing results of the application of dry principles, and you have created a new scientist.
