Excerpt from St. Paul's Within the Walls: An Account of the American Chapel at Rome, Italy; Together With the Sermons Preached in Connection With Its Consecration, Feast of the Annunciation, March 25, 1876 The wide-spread interest manifested in the work of building St. Paul's Church in Rome is a suffi cient reason for the publication of this volume. The author feels the need only of an apology for its late appearance, and begs to plead in excuse for this the exhaustion following six years of heavy and unbroken toil and anxiety, and the pressure of duties whose daily fulfillment seemed to have a first claim on his time and strength.
