Synopsis
Excerpt from The Jesuits, Vol. 1: A Historical Sketch
Tiie following sketch of this celebrated Order is drawn from original and authentic sources. Wherever it was practicable, the Jesuits have been allowed to speak for themselves, and to delineate their own portrait. When such self evidence could not be obtained, we have relied on the authority of the writers of the Romish church. On very few occasions we have de pended on the testimonies of Protestants - not that we have supposed them capable of delibe rate misrepresentation, but because such evi dence might by some be regarded as liable to csuspicion, since the most impartial minds may be tinged with early prepossessions.
