Excerpt from Spiritual Reading for Every Day, Vol. 1 of 2: An Introduction to the Interior and Perfect Life
Some ten thousand copies of this work have been printed: a sufficient proof of its utility. The present Seventh Edition is issued to meet the demand for a larger type, more suitable for the old than the small type hitherto employed.
The Popular Shilling edition will not be withdrawn, but probably the present one will be preferred. The Texts of Holy Scripture are now printed in a bolder and better type; and Challoner's translation of the Imitation is substituted for that used in previous editions. The excellence of Challoner's translation has contributed not a little to the popularity of the Imitation; and his short, terse sentences will make it more easy to distinguish the Devout Life and the Imitation from one another. Also, it may be said that the Work is divided into two parts, which can be bound separately in two handsome volumes with the engravings of St. Francis and St. Bruno, the one kindly sent from Annecy, the other taken from Butler's Lives.
