Book Description

Excerpt from A Vanished Arcadia: Being Some Account of the Jesuits in Paraguay, 1607 to 1767 Molina, Suarez, and all those villains who, in the days in which the doctrine was unfashionable, decried mere faith, and took their stand on works - who. In this land of preconceived Opinion can spare it a good word? But, notwithstanding, even a Jansenist, if such be left, must yet admit the claim Of Francis Xavier as a true, humble saint, and if the sour-faced sectary Of Port Royale should refuse, all men Of letters must perforce revere the writer Of the hymn.
