Excerpt from Pope Leo XIII On the seventh of February, 1878, Pope Pius the Ninth died in the Vatican. His remains lay in state in St Peters on the ninth of the month, and the funeral obsequies were performed on the thirteenth. Just a month before, wanting a very few days, the remains of King Victor Emanuel had been laid in the Pantheon. On the eighteenth of April the conclave of Cardinals assembled in the Sistine Chapel to elect the new Pope, Sixty-one Cardinals were present. The late Cardinal Manning was among them. The Cardinals made the election according to the immemorial method, taking ballot after ballot, scrutiny after scrutiny. In the end the choice fell upon Vincenzo Gioacchino Pecci, Cardinal Camerlingo, or Chamberlain, of the Holy Roman Church.

Excerpt from Pope Leo XIII: His Life and Letters, From Recent and Authentic Sources; Together With Useful, Instructive, and Entertaining Information Required by All Roman Catholic People Throughout the World The mission of the Catholic Church is to save souls. To realize this mission, she seeks to win, to warn, and to instruct them, by a thousand different methods: by the preaching and the writing of the word of God; by prayer, sacrifice, example; by the labors of her schools, colleges, universities, her priesthood, religious orders, her lay confraternities. She recognizes that the four pillars of national no less than individual greatness rest upon religion, education, labor, and the union of them all. To develop, then, the truths of religion, to advance the work of education, to bless labor in its more exalted or humbler forms, to strengthen by all these means the bonds of universal brotherhood in guiding us all heavenwards, - such is her constant, untiring aim and work. It was the mission and spirit of her Divine Founder. It must necessarily be her spirit and mission also. She thus seeks to place mankind in the proper relationship with one another. She seeks thus to place society on its true basis, by teaching men and women the true doctrine of mutual social responsibility; seeking not "the greatest good of the greatest number," as false philosophy would teach us, but rather the greatest good of all.

Excerpt from The Life of Pope Leo XIII: Containing a Full and Authentic Account of the Illustrious Pontiff's Life and Work A visit was made to the quaint house where Gioacchino Vin cenzo Raffaello Luigi Pecci (pope Leo XIII) and his six brothers and sisters were born. No member of his immediate family survives him, but some of his nephews, bearing the name of Pecci, still live in the simple and quaint little town, and some of these were interviewed and photographed for this work. While in Rome the author spent much time at the great Vatican galleries of statuary, of paintings, of tapestries, of frescoes and its library, the most remarkable in the world. The Vatican gardens were visited by means of special permits. The Vatican is the residence of the Popes, part of the Court and some of the guards. It contains four thousand rooms and twenty courtyards. The greatest church in the world, St. Peter's, the centre of Christianity, adjoins the Vatican.
