Excerpt from Eight Months at Rome During the Vatican Council: Impressions of a Contemporary

This manuscript, containing a sort of chronicle of the Vatican Council, having been placed in our hands, we have deemed its publication advisable on account of the great national importance for Italy, of all that concerns the time and the subject; both in itself, and in its connection with the past, the present, and the future. Moreover because, excepting in so far as the question has been dealt with by the periodical contemporaneous press, very few works have appeared in Italy with the view of enlightening the public, and recalling their attention to that memorable event, particularly in its relations, direct and indirect, with the reviving civil and political life of the country.

This object being especially aimed at in the present work, it seems' the better adapted for filling a gap much felt in our current literature, since the proroga tion of the Vatican Council.

The book is well suited for general readers, because, as the Author himself explains, it has no kind of theological aim or pretension; but treats rather of the influence likely to be exercised by the Council on the condition of our people, and their religious state.
