Riassunto

Excerpt from The Life of St. Stanislas Kostka, of the Company of Jesus

P. Lon garo's shorter but also very valuable Life was published near a century later, in 1766, thirty nine years after the canonization of St. Stanislas. It has a peculiar charm about it, from the simplicity of its style, accompanied with an affectionate unc tion, of which his sweet Italian tongue is so conge nial a vehicle. Love for the Saint, redolent of all that freshness which personal knowledge alone would seem able to impart, breathes in every page, and the reader is almost surprised when he observes the date of the work, and finds the Bull of Canoni sation at its close.

There is also a Life of St. Stanislas written by an anonymous member of the Company, the authorship of which has never it seems, been ascertained with certainty, but it is in every way inferior to that of Bartoli.
