The Story of the Later Popes

Excerpt from The Story of the Later Popes: From the Great Schism to the First Years of Pius X (1414 to 1906) Great use has been made of the long and re markable series of Papal medals,ale in which are commemorated the principal events of each reign, and many of which throw light on the personal feelings and character of the Popes. It is hoped that in this way a fair and just estimate of the history and lives of the Roman Pontifi's has been laid before the reader in a way not before attempted.
