BEYOND THE ROAD TO ROME by Curtis, Georgina Pell, comp. & ed - 1914

St. Louis: B. Herder Book Co., 1914. Accounts by converts, including Robert Hugh Benson] 440 pp.The idea of editing this book came to me five years ago, when I had in preparation my first book, "Some Roads to Rome in America." Not wishing to depend entirely on my own judgment, however, I laid the plan of the proposed work before different members of the Hierarchy, and in reply received most kind and encouraging letters. Their Eminences, Cardinal Gibbons and Cardinal Farley; Archbishops Glennon, Ireland and Quigley; Bishops Canevin, Northrop and Garrigan; Monsignor Shahan of the Catholic University, and Father Hudson of the Ave Maria; one and all wrote to me and expressed their cordial approval. Since then, six months have been devoted to the task, and in many ways it has proved a difficult one, chiefly because it was hard to make those who were asked to write understand the true object of the book. And that object is to convince non-Catholics that we converts remain where we are because we believe Divine Providence has led us; because we are satisfied; because we are sure our step was the right one; in a word - because we have not been disillusioned, as numerous people, before we took the step, predicted we would be..
