Excerpt from The Jesuits: Their Constitution and Teaching; An Historical Sketch This Volume is in substance a republication of two articles, that appeared in No. 274 and No. 275 of the 'Quarterly Review, ' with some additions and corrections. The additions are in the first section, which treats of the Constitution of the Society of Jesus. They consist of historical matter calculated to illustrate more amply this branch of the subject. The corrections are in both sections - the most important one, however, being in the second, which relates to points of Doctrine. In reference to these corrections the Author would say a few words of general explanation. On appearance in the 'Quarterly Review, ' the articles were fortunate enough to attract the attention of a well-known Roman Catholic periodical, the 'Month.' They were subjected to incisive criticisms in a series of papers in its pages, which have been ascribed to a competent master of the matter. These have been issued in a reprint, prefaced by observations, complaining that no notice had been taken by the present writer of the strictures passed on his statements, and charging him, on ground of this silence, with want of candour.
