Free ebook: “Spiritual Direction for the Use of Religious Communities”

See this legally free ebook:

• Spiritual Direction for the Use of Religious Communities, by the author of “Golden Sands”, translated by Ms. Ella McMahon (New York, Cincinnati, Chicago: Benziger Brothers, 1884). With Imprimatur. May be read online, and available in pdf, epub, and mobi formats, at Internet Archive. Available in pdf format at Wikimedia Commons.
  • [Note: We surmise that the translator is Ella J. MacMahon (year of decease unknown) and not the novelist Eleanor MacMahon (+1956), and thus likely to be in the public domain in jurisdictions that reckon copyright period based on year of death. If this assumption is incorrect, kindly inform us immediately. On the other hand, the Wikimedia Commons page states that the ebook it is in the public domain under US law.]
