Gilt title to spine and blind embossed title to front on blue cloth boards which have some minor marks to front, slight dulling of spine and just a touch of wear to spine head and tail.

First published in 1894, the Benedictine author's book comprises Discourses or Meditations intended to furnish matter for a Retreat of 8 or 10 days, each consisting of devout considerations, followed by points for mental prayer. The considerations are to be read over slowly and with devotional attention; and the points are to be wrought out with as much fervour of effective acts as may be possible. Each discourse, with its affections, is calculated to afford matter for about an hour's exercise. R1. Very Good/No Jacket.
