Notes: "The principal sources from which this work has been compiled are the process of his beatification and canonization, a contemporary life of the saint published in Rome in 1768, by one of his greatest friends, John Mary Toietti; another biography of him, by Father Tavani of the Society of Jesus, published in rome in 1768; and the small collection of his sermons preserved at St. Galla. We have stated nothing which did not come from one or other of these sources but we have not thought it necessary to give chapter and verse for each of our extracts."--author's preface, p. xv.
