Excerpt from A Nineteenth Century Miracle: The Brothers Ratisbonne and the Congregation of Notre Dame De Sion The interest of the story, its spiritual enthusiasms, its vicissitudes of failure and success, its adventure and its pathos, would of themselves always have secured it a welcome. N ow, however, we are grateful for its publication at last. In its English form, it witnesses to the skill of the translator, for, while it reads easily and smoothly and not at all like a translation, yet whenever we have had occasion to compare it with the original it has not been found to fail in accuracy.
