This video provides an overview of 'The Catholic Instructor,' a Catholic apologetic work published in 1920. It is 'an educational library of ready reference, briefly explaining questions pertaining to faith and practice, presenting simplified instructions relating to the sacred truths of Holy Religion, from the pens of eminent authorities as indicated throughout the work.'
It is 'sumptuously illustrated' with many photos and drawings, and I show some of them here. The volume was published by the Office of Catholic Publications in New York in 1920. It carries an imprimi potest from Remigius Lafort S.T.D., dated 25 January 1915.
