Father Augustus Henry Law, Vol. 3: Formerly, From February 1846 to December 1853, an Officer in the Royal Navy On the completion of the task which the Editor commenced nearly two years ago - compiling a Memoir of the late Rev. Father Augustus Henry Law, S.J. - he thinks that his first duty is, to express his humble and deep gratitude that he has been permitted, by Divine Providence, to be his sons biographer to the last It is well known that he never presumed to contemplate that the Memoir of A. H. Law should be continued, for the period subsequent to the future priest's having left the navy, by any one but a Father of the Society of Jesus. But when the Second Part of the Memoir had been published, and the Editor was seeking for some one to take his place, he was persuaded, by several of the Fathers of the Society, to finish the work himself; - and he has done so. He only trusts that he has accomplished this Third, and last Part, of the Memoir in such a manner as to procure for it a similar amount of approbation, from the heads of the Church in England, to that which the two former parts have already obtained from them; for, as his Eminence Cardinal Newman most kindly wrote to the Editor in approval of the First Part - (a letter which was published as an Introduction to Part II.) - so, yesterday, the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster replied to the Editor, by return of post, acquiescing in the request that His Eminences letter to him of December 4, 1882, written after reading Part II., might be published as an Introduction to the Third, and concluding Part of the Memoir.
