Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of Rome and Other Places: Epoch of the Vatican Council 1869-70 We reached the Eternal City toward the end of November, 1869. I left for home about the last days of April. During my stay of five months at the centre of Catholicity, 1 had ample opportunity - and under the most favorable auspices - to visit, time and again, the great monuments of ancient and modern Rome. My excursions were almost daily; and I enjoyed the rare privilege of such a companion as His Lordship, perfectly conversant with the City of the Popes. In my rambles, I noted down the more interesting objects, that they might be more vividly remembered On my return -to Canada, they were found instructive I was urged to put them into print. I hesitated, know ing how often, how graphically - and how much better than I could hope to do - these things had been described already.
