HADRIAN THE SEVENTH A ROMANCE BY FR. ROLFE LONDON CHATTO & WINDUS 1904 TO MOTHER In Obedience to the Decree of Urban P.M. VIII, I declare that I have no Intention of attributing any other than a purely human Authority to the Miracles, Revelations, Favours, & particular Cases, recorded in this Book; & the same as regards the Titles of Saints & Blessed applied to Servants of God not yet canonized: except in those Cases which have been confirmed by the Holy Catholic Apostolic Roman See, of which I declare myself to be an obedient Son; & therefore I submit myself & all which I have written to her Judgment.
