They need not our defense-God is wi for them. Our object in penning these pages was tw have no hesitation in making it known: first, to g tion, on a very interesting subject, to men who can to read more extended histories; secondly, to discha science of a debt of gratitude to the saints of the soci intercession we are indebted for many special favors. we had already published the history of the founder, ral that we should have the desire of following up the his Order, from its origin to our own times. True, we sire to trespass, and we deemed it our duty to a Jesuits for their sanction, before encroaching on th of their historic domain. Permission was granted wit tion-perhaps through a fear of wounding our feeling sal; but, however that may be, it certainly can not be writer is directed when his pen is left entirely free. S ation as we needed was readily and cheerfully furnis members of the society. For this the author is assur ful; but yet this does not imply that his pen has bee or influenced by them-quite the contrary. At the feet of St. Ignatius, St. Francis Xavier, and saints of the society of Jesus, we humbly, but confident tribute of our devotion, in the hope that they will smil fruits of our labor, and cause Heaven's blessings t upon us.
