A Candid History of the Jesuits
By Joseph McCabe
Author of "Twelve Years in a Monastery," "Modern Rationalism"
8o. $3.50
It is curious that no writer addressing English-speaking readers, has ever attempted a systematic history of the Jesuits. Probably no religious body ever had so romantic a history, or inspired such deadly hatred. On the other hand, histories of the famous society are almost always too prejudiced, either for or against, to be reliable. Mr. McCabe has attempted in this book to give the facts impartially, and to enable the inquirer to form an intelligent idea of the history and character of the Jesuits from their foundation to the present day. Every phase of their remarkable story—including the activity of political Jesuits and their singular behavior on the foreign missions—is carefully studied, and the record of the Jesuits in England is very fully examined.
