Religious.
"This is a remarkable book. It describes with a welcome minuteness, the daily, nightly, hourly occupations of the Jesuit Novitiates of Stonyhurst, their religious exercises and manners, in private and together; and depicts, with considerable acuteness and powers the conflicts of an intelligent, susceptible, honest-purposed spirit, while passing through such a process."—British Quarterly Review.
"If it be desirable to know what is that mode of training by which the Jesuit system prepares its novices for their duties, this is the book to inform us; for it is a chronicle of actual experience. The volume is of unquestionable authority."—Britannia.
"The volume presents a true and valuable picture of Jesuit education in England, and every Protestant will find it worthy of attentive perusal."—British Churchman.
"The work has all the interest of a romance."—John Bull.
"A very interesting account of the experience of an intelligent and sincere mind on the subject of religion. We can honestly recommend the book to the notice of our readers."—Eclectic Review.
"The work, we trust, will obtain a wide circulation, especially amongst classes exposed to the contagion of sceptical association. Even to firm believers it is calculated to be very profitable."—Evangelical Magazine.
"The history of the conversion of an individual mind has never been more minutely traced; the psychological phenomena revealed have never been more curious and suggestive; and the incidents have never been described with more minute fidelity."—Atlas.
"Universally and cordially do we recommend this delightful volume. We believe no person could read this work and not be the better for its pious and touching lessons."—Literary Gazette.
