Excerpt from The Life of Philip Thomas Howard, O. P., Cardinal of Norfolk: Grand Almoner to Catherine of Braganza, Queen-Consort of King Charles II., And Restorer of the English Province of Friar-Preachers or Dominicans; Compiled From Original Manuscripts; With a Sketch of the Rise, Missions, and Influence of the Dominican Order The following Life has been compiled mainly from original records and documents still preserved in the Archives of the English Province of Friar-Preachers. The work has at least this recommendation, that the matter is entirely new, as the MSS. from which it is taken have hitherto lain in complete obscurity. It is hoped that it will form an interesting addition to the Ecclesiastical History of England. In the acknowledging of great assistance from several friends, especial thanks are due to Philip H. Howard, Esq., of Corby Castle, who kindly supplied or directed attention to much valuable matter, and contributed a short but graphic sketch of the Life of the Cardinal of Norfolk taken by his father the late Henry Howard, Esq., from a MS. in the Library of the Minerva at Rome.
