Collected Publications of the Catholic Truth Society, Vol. 104 (Classic Reprint)

He managed to accomplish so much in so short a.time, he was so many-sided in his activities, he was so well known among the men of this generation, there is so much that might be said about him and which must perforce be left unsaid, that it will only be possible to give a brief outline of his life, and then describe some of its outstanding features. The object, therefore, of this brief appreciation of one who passed meteor-like across the horizon Of the Church, will be to interest its readers in Hugh Benson, priest of the Catholic Church, in the hope that it will draw them to study his interesting personality more fully in the Official biography I which will be issued in due course, and above all in the many writings which his versatile genius has bequeathed to posterity.
