Catharine of Siena: A Biography (Classic Reprint)

When the first edition of Catharine of Siena appeared, Mr. Gladstone wrote as follows to Canon Butler: received Mrs. Butler skind gift yesterday morning and spent some time in reading the first three chapters with intense interest. It is evident that she is on the level of lier subject, and it is a very high level. To say this is virtually saying all. Her reply (by anticipation) to tlwse who scoff doum the visions is, I think, admirable. It is interesting to divine the veins of sympathy which may have guided Mrs. Butler in the choice of Iter subject, oooo Fith many thanks, Most faithfully yours, W. KG ladstone. Haicarden, October lih, 1878. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
