About the author
Isidore Mullois was a French priest and religious author who lived from 1811 to 1870. Library and catalog records identify him as Jacques-Isidore Mullois, and his surviving bibliography shows a steady output of pastoral and devotional writing.
His work was aimed less at literary display than at helping people live and teach the faith well. English-language readers are most likely to know him through The Clergy and the Pulpit in Their Relations to the People, a translation of one of his books on preaching and the bond between clergy and congregation.
Some catalog records also describe him as an apostolic missionary and as first chaplain of the Emperor's household, though brief biographical details are scarce in the sources readily available online. Because those sources focus mainly on his publications rather than his life story, what stands out most clearly today is the practical, humane tone of his religious writing.
