MR. L. KEHoE:
DEAR SIR: Please accept my thanks for the eleganfly~ound copy of Father
Spalding's History of the Church of God. Just such a book was needed for the
advanced classes of our schools. The narrative-neither too diffuse nor too mea~represents the leading events of the history of God's Church in their true proportions and
flows on in an easy and graceful style. The type is clear, and the illustrations, nearly
all taken from the works of great masters, nre excellent and help much to make the
book both instructive and attractive.
I have no doubt but that the book will gradually find its way into all our advanced schools. Yours sincerely in Christ,
+ HENRY JOSEPH RICHTER, Bishop of Grand ~apids.

DEAR GENTLEMEN: I regret this delay in offering to you my sincere thanks for
your beautiful copy of the work entitled History of the Church of God, by Rev. 13. J.
Spalding.
Since my return from the Council, which was a few days before Christmas, I
have been obliged to postpone things even the most pleasing to me among these the
perusal of the above-mentioned book. ~Vhat I have read of lt fills me with a deep
gratitude toward the author for his judicious selection of historical facts, wise method,
simple, clear, elevated style, and toward you, gentlemen, for the attention you have
bestowed on so noble a work, enhancing it with every material detail, in the execution of which you afford us a new proof that you are most competent. I trust the
work will be instructive to youth, take a very honorable place among premium-books,
and, surpassing its author's aim, be read with great profit by all classes-Catholics and
non. Catholics-of every age and rank.
I bespeak for it th~ highest success as the reward for your generous efforts.
Believe me, dear gentlemen, your obedient servant in Christ,
