This work, which the au…thor had completed, was published after the author's death. Francis Thompson (16 December 1859 - 13 November 1907) was an English poet and mystic. At 26 left home to pursue his talent as a writer and poet. In 1888 a married couple, publishers, read his poetry and took him into their home. They were to publish his first book Poems in 1893. In 1897, he switched to prose, inspired by life in the countryside. He died of tuberculosis in 1907. By that time he had published three books of poetry, along with other works and essays. Notable among his prose works are an essay on Shelley, "The Life of St. Ignatius", and "Health and Holiness". H. W. Brewer was a Victorian illustrator who specialized in depictions of cities viewed from the air. Saint Ignatius of Loyola (23 October 1491[1] - 31 July 1556) was a Spanish Basque Catholic priest and theologian, who founded the religious order called the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) and became its first Superior General at Paris in 1541. The Jesuit order served the Pope as missionaries, and they were bound by a vow of special obedience to the sovereign pontiff in regard to the missions. They emerged as an important force during the time of the Counter-Reformation. Ignatius is remembered as a talented spiritual director. He recorded his method in a treatise called the Spiritual Exercises, a set of meditations, prayers, and mental exercises, first published in 1548. Ignatius was beatified in 1609, and then canonized, receiving the title of Saint on 12 March 1622. His feast day is celebrated on 31 July. He is the patron saint of the Basque provinces of Gipuzkoa and Biscay as well as the Society of Jesus. Ignatius is also a foremost patron saint of soldiers. H. W. Brewer (and others) (illustratore).
