Excerpt from Admirable Life of the Glorious Patriarch Saint Joseph Termed by the Rev} P. Laurent, in the in duction to the life of this servant of God, there were many things appertaining to the glorious St. Joseph. Influenced by the advice of men whose counsels we regard as commands, we have extracted, neither altering nor modifying any thing, all that is contained in the citfi mys tique regarding St. Joseph, and have formed from it the volume which we now publish, add ing nothing to the text of the servant of God, that the book may not be deprived of the ap probations with which it is invested, nor of the grace that was attached to the words written under the dictation of the august Mary.
