Excerpt from Life of the Rt. Rev. Wm; Quarter, D.D: First Catholic Bishop of Chicago

To guard every loop hole, to avoid every error, would be impossible. Nothing terrestrial escapes the common condition of imperfectibility; and the writer has besides to urge in extenuation of his errors, the novelty of his situation in appearing before the public as the author of a book.

Would that it were worthier! With all its faults, however, it is sent forth, confident that the reader will look rather to the subject of the picture than to the manner of the colouring - to the gem, than to the setting.
