generations, might have influenced the fpecies of culture 
and particular turn of mind among the catholics, fo dif¬ 
ferent in general from what is feen among the proteft- 
ants? It, however, refults from all this, (and I believe 
this confideration is the key to the contr.adiftory judg¬ 
ments formed on the method of the Jefuits in the culture 
of the fciences,) that this fociety has rendered immenfe 
fervjces" to certain parts of literature, ,on which it has 
thrown light ; but that, on the other hand, it has pur- 
pofely kept certain other important parts in obfeurity ; 
or it has lo fcattered the avenues with difficulties, that 
men were not tempted to engage in them ; fo that, taken 
in general, the initruftion given in their l'chools, very- 
brilliant on the one fide, remained very dark on the other, 
was a partial and incomplete inftruftion, and put the mind, 
in a wrong track; for, as on the one fide all was clear 
and bright and on the other all was dark and myfteri- 
ous, the eye naturally turned to that fide which alone was 
luminous, and diidained to reft on the other, of which 
they were even habituated not to fume ft the exiftence. 
“ To model fcience according to the interefts of the 
pontifical power, and even to render it ignorant where 
it was requjfite it fiiould be ignorant; to produce certain 
objefts in open day, and to keep others in a profound 
alight; to fertilize the reign of the memory and wit, by 
rendering that of the mind and reafo'n barren ; to form en¬ 
lightened but fubmiifive fpirits, ignorant only of that.which 
might leflen their fubmifiion, like thefe valuable Haves of 
the great men of antiquity, who were grammarians, poets, 
rhetoricians, Ikilful dancers, and muficians, knowing every 
thing, but to be free:—I do not dread being contradifted 
by any impartial man, in aflerting that fucli were the tac¬ 
tics of inftruftion adopted by the Jefuits. They were 
profound and fupremely calculated for their objeft. They 
could form illultrious and poliihed writers, learned men, 
orators, good Roman catholics, nay, Jefuits, but not men, 
In the extenlive acceptation of the term; whoever became 
a man under their regulations, became fo independent of 
thefe regulations, and, I ftiall add, almolt in del'pite of 
them/*
