THE JESUITS IN ENGLAND, 



THS WOVSTIATE; or the JESUIT IDJ TRAIDJING. 



Beinp: A Year among the English Jesuits : a Personal Narrative. 

 By Andrew Steinmetz. Second Edition, with Memoir and Portrait 

 of the Author. In one vol. post 8vo. pi ice Is. 6d. bound in cloth, 



" This is a remarkable book — a revealer of secrets, and full of materials for thouglit. 

 .... It is written with every appearance of strict and honourable irulhlulness. It 

 describes, with a welcome minuteness, the daily, nightly, hourly occupations of the 

 Jesuit Novitiates at Stonyhurst, their religious exercises and manners, in private and 

 together ; and depicts, with considerable acuteness and po^^er, the conflicts of an intelli- 

 gent, susceptible, honest-purposed spirit, while passing through such a process. If our 

 readers should be disposed to possess themselves of this volume, it will be (heir own 

 fault if the reading of it be profitless." — British Quarterly Review. 



" This is as singular a book of its kind as has appeared since Blanco While's 

 •Letters of Doblado,' with the advantage of dealing with the Jesuits in England, instead 

 of Popery in Spain It will be found a very curious work." — Spectator. 



" If it be desirable to know what is that mode of training by which the Jesuit system 

 prepares its novices for their duties, this is the book to inform us, for it is a chronicle of 

 actual experience. . . . The work of Mr Sleinmetz is throughout marked by great 

 fairness, ... he neither conceals nor exaggerates ; a spirit of candour pervades 

 the whole narrative. . . . Could we know the experience of other novices, we should 

 find that all have undergone, with more or less intensity, the process so vividly described 

 in this volume. . . . It is written in an extremely animated style. The author's 

 thoughts are original, and the passages relating to his personal history and feelings are 

 agreeably introduced, and add to the interest of his narrative. It is a sufTicient proof of 

 his accuracy, that, though the Jesuits have many j)cns in Ibis country, not one has been 

 hardy enough to impugn a sentence of his statements." — Britannia. 



" Mr. Sleinmetz writes a most singular and interesting account of the Jesuit semi- 

 nary, and his way of life there. ... He seems to be a perfectly honest and credible 

 inlbimer, and his testimony may serve to enlighten many a joung devotional aspirant 

 who is meditating 'submission' to Rome, and the chain and scourge systems. There is 

 nothing in the least resembling invective in the volume." — Morning Chronicle. 



"At a time when Jesuitism seems to be rising once more, any work on this subject 

 comes very opportunely. How the writer became a member of this mysterious body 

 gives a key to the character of the man himself, and the spirit of his book. . . This 

 narrative is well written, and as interesting as we expected." — Weekly Chronicle. 



" The woik has all the interest of a romance, and yet we do not believe that any portion 

 of it is fictitious. . . . The author writes well, and evinces a strong and disciplined mind. 

 The picture he draws of Jesuitism is a fearful one. The reader will find abundant matter 

 for grave consideration in this most singular and striking volume." — John Bull. 



"A more remarkable work it has seldom been our fortune to peruse. We hear and 

 read much of the Quietism and Passive Obedience inculcated amongst the Jesuit body; 

 but liere we become personal spectators of these principles in action. . . . Mr. Stein- 

 metz appears to be a most remarkable character. He may be received as an unbiassed 

 witness. . . . We repeat it, Mr. Steinmeiz's book is most valuable ; earnest and truthful 

 in its lone, and cxlreniely interesting in its detail." — New Quarterly Review.

A Tale. By Andrew Steinmetz. In one vol. post 8vo. jirice 9*. 

 cloth. 



" .'\ well-written and ])owerful novel, constructed for the development of Jesuit prac- 

 tices, and to show the Jesuit in action. The interest in some parts is intensely wrought 

 up. iMr. Sleinmetz has produced a work of no ordinary character, full of talent and full 

 of interest." — John Bull. 



" Itemarkablc for force of ideas and originality of style. * * * The narrative is dra- 

 matic, bolh in construction and language, and marked with great vivacity. In the conduct 

 of the story and action of the personages, Mr. Sleinmetz shows that he has closely studied 

 human life, and profiled by his observations. Indeed, we recollect no recent fiction that 

 gives a more acute exposition of the varieties of individual character." — Britannia.
