This translation first published in London in 1816. xii 13-319 pp. 1 vols. 12mo. Attacking the Jesuits. Reponding to attacks of the Jesuits on the Jansenists and especially on Antoine Arnauld Pascal wrote this very effective defence and counter-attack on the code of ethics of the Jesuits. It was very popular and placed on the "Index" in 1660. Anti-Catholic sentiment in America was strengthened in the 1820's encouraged by the dis-information disseminated by the British anti-Catholics fighting the Catholic Emancipation Act 1829 and the repeal of the Test Act 1828 and aggravated by the increase of Catholic immigrants. The "Nativist" groups who throughout American history had directed much of their antagonism towards the Roman Catholics established groups like the American "Know-Nothing" Party and the "No-Popery" movement.

Blaise Pascal 1623-1662 was a French mathematician physicist and religious philosopher. He laid the foundation for the modern theory of probabilities formulated what came to be known as Pascal's principle of pressure and propagated a religious doctrine that taught the experience of God through the heart rather than through reason.
