Excerpt from A Memoir of Father Dignam of the Society of Jesus: With Some of His Letters The following Memoir of a holy and devoted Father of the Society who, however, led a very unobtrusive life, may, as being the outcome of a grateful heart, be open to the suspicion of an excessive partiality likely of its own nature to interfere with justice of appreciation. But a little knowledge of the persons concerned, or of the circumstances which cemented their friendship, would of itself be enough to dispel all such apprehension. Though Father Dignam was not a man to thrust himself forward upon public notice, yet Providence so arranged it that one large part of his ministerial duty should lie in the forma tion and direction of nuns, a work for which he was eminently fitted, and that in that line of Apostolic ministry it should fall to his lot to assist, during a long course of years, the author of this Memoir in the organization, and construction, both internal and external, of a new Congregation, or Institute, of religious women. She has, therefore, had abundant opportunities of observing the principles upon which he acted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
