Excerpt from The Life of Frederick Lucas, Vol. 1 of 2 No apology is necessary in presenting to the public a memoir of a man who played so considerable a part in English Catholic affairs as did Frederick Lucas. If any apology were needed it would be, not for the matter of the memoir, but for the lateness of its appearance. Mr. Riethmüller, the author of the only biographical sketch of the founder of the Tablet which has appeared, not unreasonably complains that it should have been left to him, a Protestant, to pay a last tribute of respect to the memory of one who had fought so hard for the Catholic Church, and for the interests of the Catholic religion in this country. I take the opportunity of my first leisure to supply, to the best of my ability, a deficiency which appears to me to have been but imperfectly met by Mr. Riethmüller's small volume. The earlier portion of Frederick Lucas's life, down to the time of his conversion, has indeed been sufficiently described in the affectionate and sympathetic narrative of one who was his fellow-student at University College, and who was very intimate with him for many years.
