The Last Illness of His Eminence Cardinal Wiseman

The Author, Dr. Morris, is the physician who attended His Eminence Cardinal Wiseman in his last illness and saw him die. The book contains a great deal of information hitherto unpublished concerning the cardinal's career and character as well as details of his suffering and death, which befell him in the old palace on the Quirinal Hill, Rome. The Last Illness of His Eminence Cardinal Wiseman is a richly detailed, firsthand account of the final year of his life from one of the most influential prelates in Victorian England. A masterpiece-a vivid, dramatic and impressive picture of a great ecclesiastical figure who yet retained all his natural simplicity of manner.
