Side 322 - There is not in the annals of mankind any example of such a perfect despotism, exercised, not over monks shut up in the cells of a convent, but over men dispersed among all the nations of the earth.
Side 422 - ... character of a reformer, such sanctity of life as suited the doctrine which he delivered, and such perfect disinterestedness as affords no slight presumption of his sincerity. Superior to all selfish considerations, a stranger to the elegancies of life, and despising its pleasures, he left the...
Side 494 - Emperor's dominions were of greater extent, the French King's lay more compact ; Francis governed his kingdom with absolute power ; that of Charles was limited, but he supplied the want of authority by address ; the troops of the former were more impetuous and enterprising ; those of the latter better disciplined, and more patient of fatigue.

Side 321 - But they are required to attend to all the transactions of the world, on account of the influence which these may have upon religion ; they are directed to study the dispositions of persons in high rank, and to cultivate their friendship ;T and by the very constitution, as well as genius of the order, a spirit of action and intrigue is infused into all its members.
Side 421 - Eisleben, in order to compose by his authority a dissension among the counts of Mansfield, he was seized with a violent inflammation in his stomach, which in a few days put an end to his life, in the sixty-third year of his age.
Side 327 - Unhappily for mankind, the vast influence which the order of Jesuits acquired by all these different means has been often exerted with the most pernicious effect. Such was the tendency of that discipline observed by the society in forming its members, and such the fundamental maxims in its constitution, that every Jesuit was taught to regard the interest of the order as the capital object, to which every consideration was to be sacrificed.
Side 84 - French valor, and their firmest battalions began to give way. But the fortune of the day w-as quickly changed. The Swiss in the service of France, unmindful of the reputation of their country for fidelity and martial glory, abandoned their post in a cowardly manner.
