MS labelled ‘Copy of Ven. Dominic’s Retreat Lectures and Sketches of Sermons’ in Fr Urban Young’s writing; but it is unlikely that the contents stemmed from Blessed Dominic:
1) because the style is totally unlike his;
2) because the author refers at least twice to ‘our Blessed Father St Francis’; and
3) because he cites any number of people but never St Paul of the Cross or any other Passionist

Examples of lecture topics and motions for debate are: 'Socialism', 'Belgium', 'Babylonia', 'South African War', 'A Pilgrimage to Rome', 'Which is the more necessary for Ireland just now, Home Rule or a Catholic University?', 'The Religious Crisis in France' and 'Some objects of Astronomical interest at the present Day', among many others. Not all of these are present in this volume, as some seem to have been documented in another volume of meeting minutes.
