Circumstances were somewhat hurried in the original production of this edition; otherwise the policy of the Ultramontane Roman Catholics-which is, in fact, the policy of the Jesuits-with respect to education, might have been illustrated by some brief notices; while the development of the lay affiliations of the Order, including persons of both sexes-married and unmarried-the more remote constituents of the Great Secret Society might have been further traced for the guidance of the many, who are unfortunately ignorant of the symptoms, for so they may justly be described, of this potent element of disorder. The reason for avoiding further delay was, that some of scattered indications of the tendency of Ultramontane action, now added to the former record, would lost freshness in elucidating things, as they, if they are long withheld.
