To which is prefixed a discourse on the authenticity of the work, by Robert J. Breckinridge. -- [Original edition titled: Monita privata Societatis Jesu. Notobrigae, 1612 (i.e. Cracow, 1614); the first American edition, reprinted from a London diglot of 1725, was published at Princeton in 1831] -- Dedication. --- To the present Archbishop of Baltimore; who is said, by his friends, to be a person of talents and learning; and who is believed, by many, to belong to the Order of Jesuits; this volume is inscribed: under the conviction, that his duty, as a gentleman, a scholar, and a Christian, requires him, to refute the book if false; or, to admit its genuineness, if it is true: by his obedient servant, the editor. Baltimore, July 22, 1835. [Samuel Eccleston, a Sulpician, appears not to have risen to this challenge] -- From Breckinridge's discourse: `The story originally set on foot by one Cordara.that the Secreta Monita, was the production of an expelled Polish Jesuit, by name Jerome Zarowich; and that it was written by him in 1616; is not only absurd, but is contradicted by himself. But the truth is, that the minute proofs, which establish the fact that this book is no forgery, are so remarkable, as to force us to admit its genuineness, or to shut our eyes to truth.' (p. 6 f.)
