Excerpt from Sermon Notes You will certainly not forget that they do contain notes; no more. But if. They lack, in consequence, finished literary style, perhaps the spontaneous expression of his personality reveals itself all the more clearly. Since, too, the sermons are in the main devotional, not dogmatic, many a word or phrase may seem theologically less well Q chosen, though the substantial scheme of his theology can be watched, in them, growing ever more firm and more compact. Thus, despite their incompleteness - much more material was destroyed or has been set aside - they have a true value as a psychological document. In fine, Hugh Benson stamped his personality on all that he touched. I have hoped, then, that for some few, that personality will reveal itself in these relics, and re-create, in a ghostly way, something of What they experienced by association with the living, speaking man. For others, these notes may compose, as it were, an informal medita tion book, and for that very reason I have not hesitated to allow numerous repetitions of certain themes and even phrases to remain - as of the sacramental, or personal char acter of a true religion. For in this manner, to a brooding mind, what Benson believed to be deepest and most powerful will disengage itself the more surely. And after all, no one is likely to read these pages just for entertainment. I have added or corrected as little as I possibly could often, I have not even filled out incomplete quotations. Devout readers will soon know what composed Fr. Benson's not very large repertory of texts, ' or will be content to look up the reference. His best Catholic work was, of course, developed and published in book form. A certain amount of material, however, Catholic and Anglican, remains, which may later on be published in a third volume of Notes.' You will let me add to this the expression of my own not recent gratitude and devotion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
