Phe OatecMsms ofFatherJos. Deharbe, S.J., have beenasource
of incalculableblessingsto Catholic youth since their publication.
X greet with pleasure ihe edition "newly compiled for the United
States by several Catholic Priests, with the co-operation of the
Author," and give it my fullest approbation.
May the same be universally adopted m the Catholic schools oi
my
diocese. ^}, A. M. TOEBBE,
Bishop of Covington,
Milwaukee, Feb. 20, 1872.
With sincere pleasure I have received the two copies of your
aew edition of Deharbe's Catechism. It was this revision of the
Catechism of Deharbe for the Germans in America that Iwished
for so long. Deharbe's Catechisms, both the larger and the
smaller, have for a long time been in use in many schools of my
diocese, especially iu Milwaukee and in the numerous convent
(female) schools under the care of the Sisters of JSTotre Damp^
it is, therefore, scarcely necessary for me to declare that the
Catholic Catechism of Father Jos. Deharbe, S.J., has my fullest
approval, and that I specially recommend the same in its newly
revised form to all my German clergy and teachers.
At the same time I beg you, as publishers of this new edition
of Deharbe's Catechism, to give it a speeay circulation.
