Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Society of Jesus in North America, Vol. 1: Colonial and Federal The documents presented here are meant to illustrate the historical text in general of the History of the Society of Jesus in North America, Colonial and Federal. First in order are some Preliminary papers belonging to the earlier colonial period, 1605-1633. They are followed by Administrative documents, consisting of letters, written by the General of the Order and hearing on American affairs, from 1629 till 1744. Supplementing these, a Narrative section comprises an exact redaction of Annual Letters and kindred papers or fragments, as far as they touch the same subject. Controversial documents are subjoined on the question of property and civil rights, as disputed 0 in the first stage of Maryland history between the colonial Proprietary, Cecil Lord Baltimore, and the Jesuit missionaries. In these papers, the portion which is antecedent to the date 1645 forms the documentary apparatus corresponding to the first volume of text, already published. The same remark applies to the papers, in the Sections following, those which are called a Documentary, Excursus on Jesuit Property and its Uses. By way of supplement to the controversy between Lord Baltimore and the missionaries, and as a preliminary to other disputes in later times, we give an authentic sketch of Jesuit property titles, and of missionary ways and means.1 This portion on Property and its Uses recommended itself for a complete and exhaustive treatment at once. While offering on the p.one hand the attraction of contributing a vast quantity of new documents, and on the other a unity of place and subject covering two hundred years, it bore on the face of it an evident inconvenience, if we divided it into successive parts, which should correspond to the epochs of our historical text. There would be need of consider. able repetition; or there would result considerable disconnection. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
