Public Archives and Libraries in Rome 
documents of each collection have a separate arabic numeration, except that 
the last seventeen documents of the Fondo Gesuitico, 1652 to the end, have 
an independent Roman numeration. There is also an arabic numeration com¬ 
prehending all the manuscripts in the library. 
These collections do not contain the archives of the religious orders, but 
miscellaneous documents from many sources, many of them copies. An in¬ 
ventory of those in the Fondo Gesuitico relating to the history of France has 
been published by M. Georges Bourgin. 22 An inventory of those in any way 
touching the history of the United States follows. There seem to be none 
relating to the history of Canada. The documents are arranged in the order 
of, and with, both the numerations referred to above.
