Octavo. xxxii 383 1 ads. 9.25" x 6" PASCAL USED FOR BRITISH RELIGIOUS CRITIQUE<br /> <br /> Originally published in 1657 Pascal's Provincial Letters scathingly renounced the Jesuits as the order clashed with Jansenists and secular humanists. Eventually the Jesuits were disbanded in 1773 by Pope Clement XIV under political pressures.However as the spirit of revolution died during the Napoleonic aftermath of the French Revolution Western Europe restored its old political order and the papacy revisited Jesuit suppression. <br /> <br /> This 1816 edition was published in London just two years after Pope Pius VII released his papal bull Sollicitudo omnium ecclesiarum called the Late Bull for the Revival of the Order in Europe in this text reinstating the Jesuit order throughout Europe––the first edition of Provincial Letters to include the bull. In a religiously conservative period dominated by the Church of England the pope's change was not received well as it took the Jesuits over a decade to regain traction in England. Pascal's precise biting defense of the inseparability of morality and spirituality resonated with the practical British religious sensibility. Gale and Fenner unknown
