Excerpt from A Spiritual Consolation and Other Treatises A desire to see Blessed John Fisher better known and appreciated as a spiritual writer has prompted the publication of these small treatises. They present him in a new light, and any one familiar with the writings of St Francis de Sales will, after perusal of this little book, gladly corroborate Canon Mackey's statement that, had Fisher lived in happier times, he himself would have been another St Francis de Sales.
