Wanderings in South America, the north-west of the United States, and the Antilles, in the years 1812, 1816, 1820, & 1824 [microform] : with original instructions for the perfect preservation of birds &c. for cabinets of natural history. Voyages and travels; Zoology; Voyages; Zoologie. were called into action. Ungenerous laureate, the nar- row policy of the times has kept your countrymen in the dark with regard to the true character of the Society of Jesus; and you draw the bandage still tighter over their eyes, by a malicious insinuation. I lived, and taught, and died in Brazil, where you state that none but the good principles of my order were called into action, and still, in most absolute contradiction to this, you remark we believed the idolatry we taught in Brazil. Thus we brought none but good principles into action, and still taught idolatry. "Again, you state there is no individual to whose talents Brazil is so greatly and permanently indebted as mine, and that I must be regarded as the founder of that system so successfully pursued by the Jesuits in Paraguay; a system productive of as much good as is compatible with "pious fraud. Thus you make me, at one and the same time, a teacher of none but good principles, and a teacher of idolatry, and a believer in idolatry, and still the founder of a system for which Brazil is greatly and permanently indebted to me, though, by the bye, the system was only productive of ja much good as is compatible with pious fraud! " What means all this ? After reading such incom- parable nonsense, should your countrymen wish to be properly informed concerning the Society of Jesus, there are in England documents enough to show thatu the system of the Jesuits was a system of Christian charity towards their fellow-creatures, administered in a manner which human prudence judged best calculated to ensure succ and that the idolatry which you un- charitably af jy taught, was really and truly the very same faiu.
