 Naples, Sept. 4. IMI'.I; died in < 'iiiv-r-ri, .lunc i, 18!U. 

 He was the son of a lawyer, who brought him up de- 

 voutly, and, joining the .Jesuit society at the age of 

 eighteen, he distinguished himself early hy his ready- 

 pen and fluent clixpuencc, anil obtained a reputation in 

 the order forextciisive learning. In 1847 he sprang into 

 celelirity by a comprehensive and incisive answer to 

 (Jiolierti's attacks on the Society of Jesus, contained 

 in his Jesuit a Modenio," which was not calculated 

 to conciliate the foes of the order. He founded the 

 periodical called "Civilta Cattolica/' Taking a high 

 rank am<m<r the intellectual representatives of the 

 Church, he tried to win Pius IX over to a recogni- 

 tion of the new order of things, after the creation of 

 the Italian Kingdom and the seizure of the Papal 

 states. When Leo XIII became Pontiff, his idea 

 of reconciliation had more chance of acceptance in 

 ecclesiastical circles, and he published u plen for 

 peace with the new Italy. The Pope would not let 

 the audacious priest dictate his policy. The book 

 was placed on the proscribed list, and Father Curci. 

 in Is77, was expelled from the Society of Jesus. He 

 made his peace with the Holy See oy formally re- 

 eantinir his published views on the temporal power, 

 but remained in retirement in his villa at Can-irgi,

 pleted part, which does not reach the later period of
