Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Jesuits No book was ever more successful. It was first printed in the octavo, and afterwards in the octodecimo form. The former and six editions of the latter have been exhausted in the space of eight months, in spite of foreign spurious editions. This work has also been translated into almost every language. Excepting a few corrections in the text and some additional notes, this seventh edition is entirely in accordance with the preceding ones. The reader remembers under what circumstances this work was published. The two Authors, united by the double ties of friendship and ideas, are both professors in the college of France. Their lectures were interrupted, in the spring of 1843, by noisy protestations which threatened to outrage decency. They were explaining the spirit and influence of the different religious orders. They had treated of the Order of the Templars, and were lecturing on the Society of Jesus, its constitution, its origin, and the part it had played in the past and which it is still playing in human affairs. Their opponents wished to impose silence upon them; but both professors gained the day against such illiberal violence. They had a right to speak according to their con sciences, and they spoke. The volume they have published is therefore a summary of their lectures, accompanied with new documents. They have given the very text of the lessons which excited so much disturbance.
