Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Hagiology, Vol. 2: An Examination of the Nature and Tendency of Some Legendary and Devotional Works Lately Published Under the Sanction of the Rev. J. H, Newman, the Rev. Dr. Pusey, and the Rev. F. Oakley In the introduction to his translation of the Life of Bonaventure, Mr. Oakeley has touched on one point, which is so curious, and so curiously handled, that it appears to me to deserve a little more than a passing notice. My readers will recollect that Mr. Oakeley professes his work to be "newly translated for the use of members of the Church of England," the truth being, that it differs in several respects from the translation in use among the Roman catholics. Mr. Oakeley, however, acknowledges that what he has done amounts to something more than mere re-translation, and that the work, as he gives it, is intended to be in such a state as should give no reasonable offence to members of the Church of England. His words are as follows: - The Meditations now laid before the English reader have been adapted to the presumed wants of our church under that conflict of feelings which all who have been engaged in the same kind of task will fully appreciate; on the one hand, of a desire to omit nothing which might profit, on the other, to retain nothing which might offend and perplex.
