<dl><dd>" THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE.</dd></dl><p>The deep and extraordinary interest taken by so  many, in the devotion to the Sacred Heart of our  Lord Jesus Christ, the great fruits it has produced, and the singular esteem entertained for it,  by persons of universally recognized merit, have  led to the publication of this book. It is intended  to instruct the faithful, and satisfy their pious  desires. There might, perhaps, have been some  reason to fear, at the very outset, that the mere  title of Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus  Christ, however it might attract many persons to  read this book, might also deter many others.  Arrested by the first words, they might be led to  form an inaccurate idea of the devotion. To  remove this difficulty, it has been thought well to  explain in the beginning, what is understood by  devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ.  Experience has proved, that there is no one, who,  after seeing in what it consists, does not agree,  that it is reasonable, solid, and most useful, for  our salvation, as well as for our perfection...."
