Bernard Vaughan (1847–1922) was an English Roman Catholic clergyman, brother of Herbert and John Stephen Vaughan

Bernard Vaughan was born in 1847 to a prominent recusant family in Herefordshire.  Five of his eight brothers were also ordained, including Herbert Vaughan, later Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster.  At Stonyhurst he developed a talent for acting, and became a Jesuit in 1866.  He spent 20 years at Holy Name Church in Manchester serving in a number of roles and significantly beautifying the church.  In 1895 he gained fame through delivering a series of popular but controversial lectures on the Claims of the Catholic Church.  He was friends with everyone “from dukes to dockers”, including King Edward VII, who once said to him “ Fr Vaughan, you tell me things no one else dare tell me, and I like you for it”.  When Fr Vaughan moved to Mount St in London in 1901,  he would say “My home is in Manchester though my present address is in London”.  Here in 1906-7 he delivered his famous sermons on the Sins of Society of which a newspaper remarked “ it is difficult to estimate the effect of this astounding course of sermons”.  There followed high profile but grueling speaking tours to China, Japan, Canada and the USA.  He died in 1922.

Please read these notes:

• We are happy to combine orders to save you on shipping charges
• If you have additional information about an item or wish to share your knowledge of a particular item, we'd be delighted to hear from you.
• The grading system used by many sellers to describe their books can be, despite best efforts and intent, subjective and often disappointing. You'll only find high quality material here:  most  are new or like new. Occasionally, there's minor shelf wear or a publisher's remainder mark, but the integrity of the book's condition is unaltered.
• Our shipping charges do sometimes include costs for packaging supplies  but are modestly incorporated in the shipping charge; there is no such thing as handling or processing. Most other shippers charge you more for media mail .
• If you elect to make an offer please note that the system does NOT  take shipping into consideration; your offer is treated as if it includes both the price you are willing to pay for the item AND  the shipping. This can result in an offer that is less than the cost of shipping the item, which I'd have to reject.
• FEEDBACK: Most welcomed, but please contact us if you are unhappy with your purchase. We have a return policy and will gladly resolve any issue to your satisfaction.
• BOOKS THAT ARE NOT RECENTLY PUBLISHED: A book described as new but published several years ago is a reference to its condition;  meaning that the book has never been used but may have minor wear from long term storage.
• We  DON’T CHARGE FOR BOOKS TO THE MEN AND WOMEN SERVING IN THE ARMED SERVICES .  You will only be responsible for the shipping.
• REFUNDS: In general: no fuss, and no problem. Items  must be returned in the original condition within 10 days of receipt. Items that have been removed from their original sealed wrap (CDs, Books, etc that were in blister packs) will be credited at 80 % of item’s price
• LOSSES AND DAMAGE WHILE IN TRANSIT:  We highly recommend insurance and can provide it through Shipsaver and a rate below charged by the postal service. For items over $100.00 we will purchase insurance for you at no cost. You must notify us of any loss immediately however.
• INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE NOTE: We are very appreciative of our international customers and realize that your costs are higher. We will do our best to help you with that disadvantage, often by discounting the item's price. We will not, however, falsify customs forms by stating that the item you have won is a gift or by stating its value at a fraction of what it really is. Please expect to have to pay customs charges and any related fees. We do not know the customs charges in your country and are in no way responsible for them.  Additionally, packages can be held up in customs and take longer than expected for arrival. Unfortunately, we have no control over that.
• Shipping costs often vary based on destination. We offer both standard and priority services. We recommend Standard Parcel Post in the interests of economy.
• Free stuff: a minimal amount is added to shipping to cover packaging.
