SOME APPROBATIONS.

Inspired Writings are of practical use to Christian life. Such a book ought to be a welcome and revered guest in all Catholic families, and it deserves to occupy a place of honour in the libraries of Catechists, Teachers and Priests. I strongly recommend it to the Faithful and Clergy of my Archdiocese.

Calcutta, April 2. 1895.

✝ PAUL, S. J.,
ARCHBISHOP OF CALCUTTA.


I consider Dr. Knecht’s “Practical Commentary” one of the best handbooks of its kind. Its admirable method accounts for its great popularity. I shall continue to recommend it to my priests and teachers.

Fort Chapel, Bombay, Fune 14. 1895.

✝ THEOD. DALHOFF, S. J.,
ARCHBISHOP OF BOMBAY.


Allow me to take the opportunity of assuring you that Dr. Knecht’s Commentary on Holy Scripture is well known to me as a most valuable aid both to the catechist and the preacher, and I shall be only fulfilling a pleasant duty in bringing it before the notice of the Clergy. The fact that this English Edition is taken from the 16th German edition is a sufficient guarantee that the book is up to date, and adds very materially to its usefulness in the hands of the Clergy.

Bishop’s House, Middlesbrough, November 13. 1901.
