Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Jesuits, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Foundation of Their Society to Its Suppression by Pope Clement XIV.; Their Missions Throughout the World; Their Educational System and Literature; With Their Revival and Present State To the Catholic, as well as to the Protestant world this book is offered as some enlightenment on that important subject - the abuse of the religious sentiment. It is a book of facts. The Jesuits themselves, Catholic historians, and Protestant writers, the most impartial, furnish the groundwork. The main subject is connected with the contemporaneous history of the world during the last three centuries, which is brought home to the present times of political unrest and revolutions - and yet hopeful withal. It is a history of Human Nature - errors, crimes, and retribution - political as well as "religious" - and therefore, the book is impartial. Connected with no party whatever, my object has been to seek, and find, and boldly to express, the truth - such, at least, as it has appeared to me, after multitudinous consultations. For, intensely interested in the subject, I have spared neither pains nor expense to collect such information on the subject as would enable me to put forth a decisive work, not only on the Jesuits, but the religious movement in general, which antagonised the South with the North of Europe. To every mind the history of the Jesuits presents subjects of interest. In their exploits, the churchman, the missioner, the preacher, the educator, - all who possess influence on the minds of men, may find hints and admonitions: - their industry and perseverance are models for all humanity. They labored indefatigably, and received their reward in a world-encircling power. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
