As the Father of the Faithful he yearned for the conversion of every part of the globe, but more especially for that country that had so unaccountably and suddenly fallen into heresy and re- bellion against God's authority. As in St. Cuthbert's, Wiseman proved him- self, in the English college, a student of wonderful application, patience, and ver- satility. His hours of regular study were employed in the most diligent manner, while the time allotted to recreation was devoted to exploring the o...ld classic ruins, tracing the half-effaced monuments of the past, deciphering the almost obliterated CARDINAL WISEMAN. 167 mural inscriptions, and particularly in wan- dering through the catacombs and crypts, where the early Christians lived, worshipped, and were buried. The result of his explo- ration in these latter he has given us in very eloquent and concise language, in his beau- tiful historical tale, " Fabiola," and alludes to them frequently in his writings and lectures. In fact he never seemed tired of referring with evident gratification to, as he expresses it," images of long, delicious strolls in musing loneliless, through the deserted ways of the ancient city ; of climbing among its hills, over ruins, to reach some vantage- ground for mapping the subjacent territory, and looking beyond the glorious chains of greater and lesser mountains, clad in their imperial hues of gold and purple ; and then perhaps of solemn entrance into the cool solitude of an open basilica, where the thought now rests, as the body then did, after the silent evening-prayer, and brings forward from many well-remembered nooks every local inscription, every lovely monu- ment of art, the characteristic feature of 168 irishmen's sons.
