This work by John Henry Newman was originally published in 1844. Newman was a Cardinal, and an important figure in the religious history of England becoming famed as the leader of the 'Oxford Movement'. He was also a scholar of Christian history, and in this publication he outlines the life and works of several saints, such as 'St. Herbert', 'St. Edelwald', 'St Bettelin', and others. This is a great work for anyone with an interest in the history of Christianity and its prominent contributors. To this volume is added a specially commissioned biography of the author to give the reader an historical context in which to place the work.
